Nothing, when "View" was called, it was initially

start "" lic.pdf

Nothing happened as the reader was not launched.  So I customised the
variable and set it, so that View gave

acrord32 lic.pdf

Nothing happened again.

$ echo $PATH (from the cygwin prompt)

/cygdrive/c/MiKTeX2.7/miktex/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/MiKTeX2.7/miktex/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program

the reader is not there in the path.  But If I do
Start-->Run-->acrord32 from the Windows Start Menu, it launches the
reader even no path info is present.

Yes, that didn't work as the reader was not launched.
