How do I change the default home directory after I fire up cygwin?

[Yves <yoursurrogategod@gmail.com>]

Hi, this is my issue:

I start up cygwin and do pwd, and this is my home directory.
$ pwd
/cygdrive/h

But, I don't want it to be in /cygdrive/h.  So, what gives?  I've run the
mkpasswd command like so (while in my /home/<my name> directory):
mkpasswd -l -p "$(cygpath -H)" > /etc/passwd

At that point, I close my cygwin window and open it again... and same thing
when I run pwd.  How do I make cygwin think and start in /home/<my name>?
I've even mucked with the /etc/passwd for my user account and STILL no
result.
Very confused...

P.S.: If this message shows up twice, I didn't mean to, was having a
difficult time trying to post to the mailing list.
