The OP was asking for help about recovering user customization files, not
about uninstalling and reinstalling cygwin. Depending on how much he
customized, he could just reuse the cygwin defaults, from
/etc/defaults/etc/skel.
In typical Unix fashion, when you delete something, it's gone (unless you
use a low-level disk undelete utility). Backing up important data is a
good habit to get into.
