In the file C:\Cygnus\B19\Cygnus.bat (or whatever your startup batch file is called) add the line SET HOME=C:\mallesan\ (or whatever you call your home directory) In this directory you make a .bashrc file. This file will be read every time you start bash. You can have aliases, wellcome messages or any other stuff in this file. See: http://www.alank.net/ for examples.
