Hi, After looking through your archives and trying out some recommendations, I still cannot get Cygwin to recognize that I am a new user--still cannot get it to create an account for me (even though I am logged into my windows account when I am using it--it's all set up on the windows side). I inherited my computer from a previous employee, and cywin came installed, so it's set up to use all of his profiles and preferences. I want my own account that I can customize and have permissions on.
I have tried "mkpasswd" to add my user name to the passwd file, which it did, but it didn't change the fact that when I login it still begins in his cygwin/home/olduser directory. How do I create my own directory within cygwin/home? If I change the permissions on cywin/home from read only and manually add my own user folder, will it work or break something else? I am a newbie with cygwin, so please give full instructions.
