Use of SHELL env var by login


I just moved the cygwin installation. The "last" peculiarity I ran into was that the login shell, with the shortcut "F:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -", a ps showed

    /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/bash

instead of /usr/bin/bash

I tracked this down the the windows setting for SHELL, the one you get to from windows' SystemProperties dialog, which was C:/cygwin64/bin/bash. The /etc/passwd file specifies /bin/bash.

Is this expected behavior? (Though I can see why SHELL is there and I'd need to change it)
