No, $PATH references c:/windows:
$ echo $PATH
~/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/usr/bin:/usr/X11r6/bin:/e
/Program Files/Executive Software/Diskeeper/:/usr/lib/lapack
$ mount
e:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type ntfs
(binmode,system)
