Is there a env variable which I can set on the cmd window so that all the paths are WIN paths?

    The point of cygwin is to be able to compile and run applications designed for unix with minimal change. Unix applications aren't designed to handle absolute paths to start with something other than "/" and they don't have a concept of a work directory per drive. Nearly every application would have to be changed to support this switch you describe, so I doubt its existence.

      I understand what you are saying.What I am asking is all my paths by default in my system are unix paths,how can I change them back to Windows paths
