RE: 1.7.1: Incomplete install
So a complete uninstall (by deleting the directory and removing registry references) followed by a complete install fixed all my problems except one:
My rxvt shortcut results in a prompt that has not read my .bashrc file. So I hacked the /etc/profile file to include the line:
. "/<home_dir>/.bashrc"
That fixed it.
The rxvt syntax is below:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -T "%COMPUTERNAME%.%USERDNSDOMAIN%" -e /bin/bash --login -c "exec /bin/bash"

"Install" would have been a better choice.
