>I notice that every time I run setup.exe, my soft link gets removed and a new profile is created for me the next time I open a Cygwin terminal. I can confirm a similar issue in setup-x86_64. However, the soft link for /home is not actually removed - it remains side-by-side with the new /home directory. The soft link was created using winsymlinks. This causes a cygwin terminal to ignore the previously created soft link and see a new empty user profile. It seems to me that setup should not step on a user's existing system configuration in this way. Regards James R.
