Hi, this is my issue:

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::

Ok, so if I do HOME=/home/user name I go to the home directory that I want
to go to. Yes! But when I close my cygwin window and then re-open it, I'm
back in /cygdrive/h... hmm...

But isn't $HOME set based on what the shell gets? So whatever is setting

And yes, there's a domain.
And, after looking at System variables, I found HOME which is pointed to
