This also produced a new directory under "Documents and Setting" called "gene-us" which is my new default home directory for windows. However, cygwin never seems to get the message and when I start cygwin (via rxvt) it thinks my home is still in "gene." How do I tell cygwin to use "gene.us" as my home?
Same as always. Run 'mkpasswd'. See the docs:
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#MKPASSWD>
'man mkpasswd'
and/or see '/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh.done'.
