I log into the machine using my normal domain login credentials. The machine looks the way it does when I log in when the machine is in the office - the desktop is the same, etc. - it's not acting like I'm a new user or anything like that. Everything on the Windows side seems to be working fine. The only issue I've found is with Cygwin. Is there a way (short of removing and reinstalling Cygwin) that I can get Cygwin to recognize my current user so ssh and git can know where my home directory is located?
