Sorry, you got it completely wrong. You cannot add a user "inside Cygwin". "Net user" is a Windows commmand and it allows you to set the home directory: <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771865 (WS.10).aspx> > When the user is added inside CYGWIN it duly gets added to the Windows > users, It's actually the other way round.
