Do an edit/find for 'cygwin1.dll'. See if you have more than one. (In case the Windows find file missed it for some reason.)
Better:
dir cygwin1.dll /s /a /b
/a will catch cygwin1.dll even if it should be marked as a hidden or system file, and /b will optimize the output format (one line per file).
What's wrong with using the Windows Find/Search utility?
It works fine in Windows 2000, but they broke it horribly in Windows XP when they "extended" it to ignore certain directories and types of files. You have to jump through all sorts of hoops and enable the indexing service in order to get it to search all files in XP. So, the results of the utility cannot be trusted in XP.
