Why? Didn't you have these yet? Didn't you like them? > Under the /etc/profile file it says to change the bashrc.bash file > and I have amended this but still no change. You didn't read a few lines more in /etc/profile until it says "Here is how HOME is set, in order of priority, when starting from Windows", did you? > I also see there is a .bash_profile file in both the > /etc/defaults/etc/skel and /etc/skel.

Please read the fscking bash manual - especially the FILES section at the bottom. Otherwise nice people will start telling you things in a way you'll surely won't like. Hint: the manual doesn't mention /etc/bashrc - so it's up to YOU to make sure it gets sourced.
