Where to put profile files?

When I start up Bash from NT it opens in
c:\winnt\profiles\randall\desktop
So I tried putting .bash_login and .bash_profile in it with just one line:
alias dir=ls
This doesn't work. I tried putting a profile file with the same contents in the etc directory under
where I have cygwin installed:
j:\prg\cygwin\etc\profile
That doesn't make any difference either.
I tried creating an etc directory on the c drive and putting profile in it too:
c:\etc\profile
That doesn't help either.
So I'm running out of ideas. Anyone know where the Cygwin Bash goes looking for profile,
.bash_login, .bash_profile, and .bashrc?
