Copy the CYGFS, CYGROOT, SWARMHOME, SWARMROOT, PS1, MAKE_MODE
environment variable values Administrator has under:

 Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Environment/User

Also add "c:\Swarm-2.0.1\bin;c:\Cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin"
to the PATH in that same lower panel.  Finally, set a user-specific
HOME variable (and directory), and copy .bash_login and .emacs to
those directories.

HOME is where Emacs will look to find ~/.emacs, and without the
provided .emacs, the shell, compilation and debugging preconfiguration
information won't be available, as you are experiencing.

If you want to have multiple users, preventing them from touching
Swarm, etc, you will need to make the links by hand.

Correct.
