setting $HOME variable


Ive been trying to set the home variable.

i want home to be c:\cygwin\home\

ive tried setting this in the .bat files  and in .bashrc  but it doesnt work.  
If i type echo $HOME i get this

/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/UserName

Ive read that its in /etc/passwd where it actually looks for the home 
directory, but what do you chage?  How can i set it so when i start the bash 
its starts in the right directory?

Any help will be appreciated!
