redefining $HOME


Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the windows folder "My Documents" or even "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME" (or some dir inside those) as the hoe directory in Cygwin. I though about substituting the user directory inside /home by a symlink to one of the above. Is there any reason that wouldn't work? Is there a better way to do it?

The reason I am thinking about it is just practical: I want to have all my files (Windows or Cygwin) under one root.

Thanks a lot

Gustavo.
