Invalid program file name, pif file

I recently got Cygwin working (Rather then download, then install, I 
installed from internet) And after I installed it, I tried running Cygwin.pif and got 
this error:

C:\CYGWIN~2\Cygwin.pif
Invalid program file name, please check your pif file. Choose "close' to 
terminate the application.

I look at the pif file, and noticed it was pointing to the wrong directory 
where command.com was (C:\WINDOWS\command.com) and changed that to where it was. 
(C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\command.com) and when I then tried to run it, I got this 
error in the DOS window:

Bad command or file name

How would I fix this? I have been searching the archives, but found nothing 
so far. I am still searching now. Also, I am using Windows XP.

Thanks,
-Zeno
