What MS commands? :-) There are so few of them! Personally I put 
C:\Cygwin\Bin first in my Windows System Environement Variable PATH 
(Right click My computer, select Properties: Advanced: Environment and 
make sure you set the System, not the User, PATH variable). This also 
allows services to find things (like inetd).
