I was able to use Windows Explorer to open the file by double clicking the file. I was able to use cygstart open the file with full path. The problem is with all file type. I can do a cygstart http://www.cygwin.com/ with no problem. The result from:
strace cygstart hello.txt |grep hello.txt
is as below:

Are you running the command from inside your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory?
When I run the command, it checks my current directory before looking
anywhere else.
File does not exist:

Neither one looks at my Windows system32 directory.
