No, without the blank(!!!): "c:\cygwin;c:\mingwin\bin"

Well, the PATH variable already contains a couple of paths, add the two 
given above in front of all others, separated by ";".
Don't see what is difficult to understand here.

I think you need to read the manuals before, and additionally seek 
advice by a local Windows expert who can tell you relationships between 
paths, environment variables, executable files etc.
