If you're the only one using Cygwin on your machine, try

echo "cd /cygdrive/c" >> /etc/profile

and then restart the Cygwin shell.

In the future, when you need to find out which package contains a
particular program, use the Cygwin package search page at
<http://cygwin.com/packages/> (it helps to prepend "bin/" to program
names, especially short ones like "vi").
