By default the user folder of Cygwin (under Win7) is in a subdirectory <installation folder>\home\<username>
How can I put it into a separate directory OUTSIDE of Cygwin? Example: I installed Cygwin in D:\tools\cygwin\v2\ and want to put my (resp. all) home directories into D:\tools\cygwin\myhome\ If possible I would like to specify my new home directory not as absolute but as relative path. I would prefer a customization somwhow in "Cygwin.bat" like: set cygwinhome=..\myhome Mind the double dots standing for "go up one level". How can I achieve this?
