First of all: Cygwin != Bash What you are looking at is a difference in behaviour between two versions of Bash: one is buggy, the other one is not. The buggy one - contrary to what you apparently expect - is the first one.
Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer. As such, the paths it uses are POSIX-ised. c:/directory becomes /cygdrive/c/directory. This is the expected behaviour and will not be changed back. As for configuration files and somesuch that control this behaviour, there are none: it is hard-coded because it is a Good Thing. If you do want the Windows versions of the path, use the cygpath utility.
