Why don't bash commands work in cygwin mintty?

Question

bash

Hello, please tell me how to make mintty work ?
Standard cygwin terminal works fine, all commands work. However, in mintty, for example, the ls command throws an error:
bash: ls: command not found
I tried the following:

"Cygwin ls command not found"
If you are a linux enthusiast and really miss those greps and sed/awks on the windows box, you've probably installed cygwin. You tried running it either by double-clicking the cygwin icon on your desktop or the cygwin.bat file in your "C:\cygwin" directory and got the bash-3.X$ prompt. However, although the pwd or cd commands work, if you try ls, it says:"ls: command not found".
Here is what you need to do to fix it:
1. Right click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
2. Add a new environment variable, called CYGWIN_HOME and set its value to C:\cygwin
3 Edit the PATH environment variable and add C:\cygwin\bin to it (usually separated by a ';').
4. Just click okay, exit any command prompts or bash shells (over cygwin) you may have open, and open it again - it'll work!
Note: this assumes that you have installed cygwin at C:\cygwin. If you've kept it someplace else, please modify the above accordingly.

however, this did not help. What else can you try?

Is cygwin definitely installed in c:/cygwin? Try reinstalling it, carefully watch what you click during the installation.
