Greetings, Thomas Schweikle!

> Is it possible to have the same home for Windows and cygwin?

See /etc/nsswitch.conf and https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch

> Using "C:\Users\<user>" for Cygwin home setting mount points for users?

I don't get this question. Can you please rephrase?

There's some caveats to using %USERPROFILE% as $HOME, most notable, you have
to be careful with overly sensitive programs, like SSH or GPG. Other than
that, the noacl flag on the cygdrive mount will cover you for the time being.
I.e.:

>> none /cygdrive cygdrive noacl,binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0

And usertemp idea is also a good one:

>> none /tmp usertemp binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0
