Windows stores the environment variables in the registry, under `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment' and `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment'. You can access these through /proc/registry in cygwin. For an example see the PRINTER setting in /etc/profile.

That is an excellent note. Documentation can be found at
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html. The regtool might be also useful in this regard.
