That's quite strange; neither of those should be necessary.   I have
no CYGWIN_HOME set, and my Cygwin bin dir is not in my Windows PATH.
(The latter is handy if you want to run Cygwin commands from the
Windows shell, of course).

How are you starting Cygwin?  The normal shortcut runs
C:\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat, which looks like this on my install:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i
