Sorry Frantisek et al, Mea culpa. You are correct. I was not using a .profile at all, thanks for pointing out the problem. I have rearranged things and retested with a .profile. I placed alias profilels1='ls -s' export PROFILE2=ProfileVariable2 export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Temp:$PATH in my .profile in my home directory. My OpenWith.reg file now contains: ===================== File:OpenWith.reg CUT HERE ======================= Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCommandPrompt] @="Open with Command Prompt" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCommandPrompt\command] @="c:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCygwinShell] @="Open with Cygwin Shell (rxvt)" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCygwinShell\command] @="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -geometry 96x76+800+5 -fg gray -bg black -fn Fixedsys-8 -sl 2500 -sr -tn cygwin -e c:/cygwin/bin/bash --noprofile --norc -c \"export EXPLORERDIR=`cygpath -u '%1'`; exec bash --login -i\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCommandPrompt] @="Open with Command Prompt" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCommandPrompt\command] @="c:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe /F:ON %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCygwinShell] @="Open with Cygwin Shell (rxvt)" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCygwinShell\command] @="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -geometry 96x76+800+5 -fg gray -bg black -fn Fixedsys-8 -sl 2500 -sr -tn cygwin -e c:/cygwin/bin/bash --noprofile --norc -c \"export EXPLORERDIR=`cygpath -u '%1'`; exec bash --login -i\"" ====================== File: OpenWith.reg END CUT HERE========================= I make the first invocation of bash avoid executing any scripts, then make the second exec invocation run the scripts instead. I don't get any double execution, the PATH variable doesn't get /cygdrive/c/Temp added to it twice, and I get the variables and aliases from both .profile and .bashrc. Notice the new EXPLORERDIR variable. The many quotes are needed for directory names with spaces! I had to add these lines at the very bottom of the global /etc/profile file to get it to change to the directory desired though: if [ "$EXPLORERDIR" ]; then cd "$EXPLORERDIR" fi =================================== John Daniel Doucette, Sr. Software Designer J.
