I'd guess that emacs has set a system-wide HOME environment variable. That would take precedence over the setting in Cygwin's /etc/passwd. Check under System Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables. (That's where they are in XP anyway.)
Andy, you were right! HOME was set to the Emacs folder. I replaced it with the directory I wanted as my Cygwin home folder and restarted my OS. Now /home/helvio/ is my new Cygwin home!
