I think these names with spaces come from when they originally set up
Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server 2000 with thier full name when asked create
users in NT, 2000, XP or 2003 Server.
Correct this by going into the Windows Users' account setup in Control
Panel, and create a user without the spaces in the name.
Chan, use chansengloong as your new user name. Must be done in administrater
mode.
Over all effect will be a new account under Cygwin though windows.
