title: How to make babun/cygwin home directory equal windows home directory?
body: <p>I just installed babun, a variant of Cygwin. I want the cygwin user home directory to equal my windows home directory.
  So, to be clear, I don't want to add the cygwin home to the <code>C:\Users</code> as a new user, I want it to be the same as my current windows home directory.</p>
  
  <p>Now, according to this post, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1494658/how-can-i-change-my-cygwin-home-folder-after-installation">How can I change my Cygwin home folder after installation?</a>, there is a neat way to make the cygwin home directory point to your windows home directory.
  You open the file <code>/etc/nsswitch.conf</code> and make sure is has a line <code>db_home: windows</code>. However, after restarting my pc,  <code>echo $HOME</code> still says <code>/home/chiel.tenbrinke</code>, which is not what is should be. It should say something like <code>/cygdrive/c/Users/Chiel.tenBrinke</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Why is this not working?</p>
  
  <p>My cygwin version is <code>CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW IM-Chiel-2015 1.7.35(0.287/5/3) 2015-03-04 12:07 i686 Cygwin</code>.</p>
