Isn't your profile directory is a logical location for your $HOME? Other than that, check all settings that may affect it. Environment variable, as suggested, being one of them. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 03.08.2012, <01:27> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
