Thorsten, don't use Microsoft Windows style of pathnames!  Use POSIX compliant
pathnames.

E.g. Do the following
$  cd /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files

or alternatively try
$  cd "`cygpath -u "C:\Program Files"`"

Note the backslash is to escape the space in the pathname in the 1st case, quotes
in the 2nd case.
