Did you perchange put your files in c:\cygwin\usr\bin ? (assuming you installed in c:\cygwin) If so, you should know that the c:\cygwin\bin directory is mounted to /usr/bin, which makes the contents of c:\cygwin\usr\bin invisible from within the Cygwin environment. This is by design. Move the files to c:\cygwin\bin and you should be OK.
Note that in all this, I assume you've installed Cygwin's root in c:\cygwin. If it's in q:\tralala (which is possible, of course) replace every instance of c:\cygwin above with q:\tralala. > Why and what can i do to start them from anywhere in the Cygwin session ?
