My current solution is to just mount it in fstab with the following line:

   c:/Users /home ntfs binary,posix=0,nouser

Alternatively, you can set HOME in your
Windows environment to point to the directory you want as your home.

Or, change the second-to-last item in /etc/passwd to something like /cygdrive/c/Users/rob.

Remapping c:\Users to /home is obviously more scalable, but do you really have lots of local users on that box?
