No, that not the root of your problem.
Cygwin is *not* supposed to store Windows-style path anywhere.

AFAIK: The shell extracts $HOME from /etc/passwd, and /etc/profile
sets it, if for some reason $HOME is empty at the time the shell
executes /etc/profile.
But again, for my understanding, something fundamental is wrong
with your setup. As I told you last time: try cygcheck -s -r and
cut & paste its report to the list (in case you have not done already).
And : *Please* *send* *to* *the* *list*, **not** to me ! !
