Frank,
I've attached the two Windows shortcuts that I use to launch BASH, either
in a console ("Cygwin.lnk") or in RXVT ("RXVT-AM.lnk").You'll no doubt want to edit these for the particular installation directories, window sizes and colors and fonts and such. In case these shortcuts are not acceptable under all versions of Windows (I use 2K Pro), here's the commands they embed: Console: D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i RXVT: D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -g 110x89+485+-1 -bg #dddddd -fg #000000 -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-11" -sr -sl 5000 -tn rxvt -vb -e /bin/bash --login -i The important parts are the "-i" and / or "--login" options. I recommend reading the BASH manual page to get the full (mucked up) details of the interaction between these options and the presence or absence of the various start-up processing done by that shell (I can never keep it straight in my mind and have to use the manual every time I want to understand or change these things).
