Simply start the Windows command prompt and type in echo %PATH%.
You must need to re-read the subject line, since your suggested method
does not actually answer the question asked.
Indeed! You're right. So then the answer is that you can use that to see
what the Windows PATH is before Cygwin gets to it and you can see the
resulting PATH variable after Cygwin has modified it (or you can go
through steps to try to stop Cygwin from modifying it) but there is no
environment variable for the Windows PATH. You could change
/etc/profile(?) to export WINDOWS_PATH=$PATH before it starts changing
it - or maybe you can interrogate the registry. The real question here
is what does he need the Windows PATH for? If just to look at then echo
%PATH% in a cmd shell or look at System: Properties: Advanced:
Environment variables: PATH (Both user and system).

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? then he is malevolent. Is he both able and
willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then
why call him God?
