Hello,
I installed cygwin from the internet while I was in the administrator area. I used DOS and all users. After installing when I clicked on the cygwin icon it made the home directory. Now when I click on the cygwin icon from the administrator area (administrator logon) I am put in in the cygwin window with the directory  <mailto:administrator@dilipp> administrator@dilipp which is very good, dilipp being the name of the computer. Now if I login  as user pauldk, and then I click on the cygwin icon I  am not sent to the cygwin/home area , rather  <mailto:pauldk@dilipp> pauldk@dilipp area, under which I can see all my folders including cygwin. As I am trying to call cygwin from another fortran program, it fouls up the execution of the program as I need to be in the home directory. My concern is   to rectify this situation. May I need to change/add a line in the profile.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks, 

Dilip K. Paul

P.S. When I installed cygwin from the pauldk user area, I always got into pauldk@dilipp <mailto:pauldk@dilipp>  which is precisely I like to avoid.
