So, then, it looks like you're using the win32 vim, not the cygwin
vim, right?  Meaning that it doesn't know about cygwin or the cygwin
home directory.

Inside vim, the following command will tell you where to put it:

:echo $HOME/_vimrc

To just start editing it right away, you can just do

:e ~/_vimrc
