Interesting. So vim doesn't respect the %APPDATA% on windows anyway. If I were using windows, I think I'd prefer my config files for things like vim to live inside C:\Users\<your user profile>\AppData\Roaming (which I believe is the default for %APPDATA%), so that in cases where I was logging into a domain it would carry across to wherever else I logged in. You might consider adding symlinks around so that this happens. Or just let all the cygwin tools dump files into the root of your user directory if you like...

But also, I think you want the home directory on cygwin to be /cygdrive/c/Users/somia so that cygwin tools don't get confused by "C:".
