ok, its here the whole value:
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v4.0\bin\;C:\Program 
Files\PC Connectivity Solution\;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA 
Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
 
Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG; C:\cygwin\bin;C:\Documents and 
Settings\All Users\Application Data\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing 
SDK 4.0\C\common\bin;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 
4.0\C\common\bin;C:\Cygwin\usr\bin

as you can see, I am doing CUDA programming :)

so,  ; C:\cygwin\bin; is there ... and cygwin compiler is at: C:\cygwin\bin

I will test putting other programs to PATH and see they work...
