I believe that you are using NT, is this correct?  If so, you are a member of
the administrator group, is this correct?  If yes, to both of these, then you'll
have to modify the registry data with regedit to modify the root path.  You'll
find the key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Cygnus Solutions.  Follow the
paths until you find the appropriate one and modify the value.  If you do
`cygcheck -r' you'll have a list of the registry entries created/used by
cygwin.
