How to use only one line (remove the logged in info)?

[icet]

Hi, could someone tell me how can I make the terminal use only one line
instead of two? Right now it is like this

Administrator@ddv~
#

I would like either
#

or 
Administrator@ddv~ #

Thanks

Assuming you're talking about bash, you want to manipulate
the setting of environment variable PS1.  See "man bash" ...

This is not cygwin specific.

Thank you very much, I wasn't aware of that since when I'm on linux this is
not an issue. This code already did the trick

export PS1="\u@\h \w>"

Will expend a few more hours reading about it, many options available.
