Re: Windows home path
OK, so either HOME is set in your Windows environment to this, it's
set this way in your /etc/passwd, or your user ID isn't in /etc/passwd.
Unset HOME in our Windows environment and/or run mkpasswd as appropriate
for your environment. Change the home directory there to be what you
want/need if you're still getting the "wrong" thing. In this case, that
would be because you're getting the home defined in your Windows profile.

When I start cygwin from the installed cygwin batch file, it uses
C:\Documents and Settings\username (where username is my current logged in
windows username) as my home directory. As I stated before, I can change it
by modifying the HOME env var in the batch file, but this doesn't seem like
a good long term solution.
Thanks,
Bill

Anyone know why the latest cygwin uses a path with spaces in it
(C:\Documents and Settings\username) for its home when it doesn't
support
spaces in paths?
Where exactly do you see this path being used?
