You can edit the file directly if you prefer. I was just trying to
provide you with a mechanism which would allow you to regenerate your
/etc/passwd file in the future without needing to re-edit it each time.
But if that's not a concern for you, just run your favorite editor and
have at it! ;-)
Larry,
Thanks for all the help. Sorry to keep beating this
subject down, but I hope this can be my last question.
What problems will I have with simply changing the
path for my home dir in /etc/passwd?
Do I have to use the mkpasswd cmd that you showed
below?
Thanks,
Erik

FYI. Problem solved!
Our NT_Services group here changed some "start-up"
scripts which were setting $HOMEDRIVE. I just had to
re-map that drive and cygwin started up correctly.
I have a few questions.
1. $HOMEDRIVE for me is on a network share is this
going to be a problem?
2. Shouldn't cygw

Dave,
I'm very familiar with setting Env vars in windows. I
checked that. Nothing there. Then I opened a cmd
prompt and ran set | more and found this:
HOMEDRIVE=H:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\dalfss02\erikweibust$
Those vars aren't visible through the My Computer gui
view? Any idea where they are

These are your windoze environment vars I'm referring to; you can see them
by right clicki
Dave,
Where might those ENV settings be hiding? Any ideas?
I followed the uninstall instructions exactly.
