Start menu->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables.
Find 'PATH' in the "System variables" section, click "Edit", append
";C:\cygwin\bin" (without the quotes, and if you installed cygwin anywhere
other than C:\cygwin, use that directory name instead). Click "Apply" and
"OK" until you've closed the "System Properties". Close cmd.exe, start
another one and bingo.
cheers,
