If you're the only one using Cygwin on your machine, try echo "cd /cygdrive/c" >> /etc/profile
and then restart the Cygwin shell. In the future, when you need to find out which package contains a particular program, use the Cygwin package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages/> (it helps to prepend "bin/" to program names, especially short ones like "vi").
