That is true. There is something wrong with the setup here. This should 
work without any problem after just a normal install of Emacs+EmacsW32 
(and Cygwin of course). No special setup should be done in .emacs for 
this to work.

However, you should run Options - Customize EmacsW32 from the menus to 
get everything setup correctly. There is a part called Program and Value 
Search. Will, could you please try the "Find All!" button there and 
after than test if you still have the problem above? (You may have to 
remove something in your .emacs too.)
