You cannot start or close Cygwin... > $HOME is set back to the default /home/user. Sure, that's how it's always been in Linux and Windows. > How can I persist the change to $HOME? Put the value in the startup file of the application you are using. This is _not_ Cygwin but probably bash (a /shell/). Or put it in the place where you set environment variables in Windows. /etc/profile mentions how $HOME is set. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
