Dear friends,

When I installed cygwin for the first time everything is fine. After I messed 
it up (trying to figure out X-windows), a lot of things changed: for example 
/usr/bin is not in default path and the default directory changed. I think a 
simple reinstall should correct all these. But it is not. I followed FAQ: 
deleted the folder and so on. But after reinstallation the /usr/bin is still 
not in $PATH, and now nothing in HOME (no directory, no .bashrc). What could be 
the reason that the new installation is different from my first installation? 
How can I reinstall a clean version? BTW, my os is windows 8.

Thank you very much!
James
