I don't understand exactly what you're up to.  There's no really good
reason to install Cygwin as SYSTEM user.  You can install it just using
any administrative account, that should lead to the most servicable
results.  The "there's only one single godlike admin account called
root" concept of Unix is only partly imposable on Windows.
