Every new developer machine I get I always instal cygwin along with these essential tools.
Here today I will briefly write about setting the home directory. As per cygwin post here I edited the /etc/passwd file to set my home directory.
At work, I have a network space alloted to me whenever I log in and I use this as the default home folder for cygwin as well. I merely edited this file for my username and changed the home directory to the network drive letter mapped in /cygdrive.. and voilla!

Network drive is too slow, so I have went back. Copy other important config files like .bash_login, .vimrc, .bcrc etc., and edit .bashrc in the new home to source the .bash_login file.
