Thorsten, don't use Microsoft Windows style of pathnames! Use POSIX compliant
pathnames.
E.g. Do the following
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files
or alternatively try
$ cd "`cygpath -u "C:\Program Files"`"
Note the backslash is to escape the space in the pathname in the 1st case, quotes
in the 2nd case.
