At least, that seems to be common expectation among the users and developers here. > So the Cygwin home dir > is equivalent to the CMD homedir, which is %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%, Which is covered by "system" setting. Which will either read the location from AD or use %HOMEPATH%, if all else fails. > not %HOMEPATH%/AppData/Roaming/CMD. I don't see, why not. Forget for a moment about its true location. Does it matter, where the files are located, when cygwin is running? -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 12.11.2014, <23:18> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
