I don't know how to do it without using .bashrc, but this works for me (current cygwin, NT 4.0)
Registry key contains:
D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sb -sr -sl 16384 -fn fixedsys -fg gray -bg black
-e /bin/env CFH="%1" /bin/bash --login
.bashrc contains
if [ "$CFH" != "" ] ; then
cd "$CFH"
unset CFH
fi
No temporary files, bash.exe or .bash_profile is not executed twice.
Also looks like cygpath -u is not needed, DOS paths seem to work in cd
command.
