You said you use a W2K machine, so :
 - Right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties"
 - Go to "Advanced" and "Environment variables"
 - There, you can set user and system variables; In the
   user section, add HOME C:\cygwin\home\foo.
The names i mentioned are some backward translations of
the one i found on me own French W2K version, so they
can slightly differ in reality.
