The use of the .viminfo file is controlled by the vim variable option flag
viminfo. If you set it to null then it won't be used. See `help viminfo'
while in vim for more information.
Basically if you enter
set viminfo=
into your ~/.vimrc file then it won't be used.
However this is an advanced feature and can be used between sessions to reserve
such things as marks, remembered editing sequences, command buffers, etc. so
that they can be continued to be used for the next session.

Yea, me too! I have the following in my ~/.bashrc file:
dircolors ~/.dircolors.rc > /tmp/a && . /tmp/a && rm /tmp/a
I've attached the ~/.dircolors.rc file.
BTW, it is appropriate not to quote the full cygcheck output.
