Greetings, Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C]! >> an administrative password to run minty
> That's new to me. My PC at work (despite being secured with tons and tons > of Gov't restrictive policies) does not require any additional permissions > to run a command incorporated in the shortcut file... But not new to the list. @carolus, navigate to your Cygwin installation /bin, locate mintty.exe, bring up it's properties and remove the "Requires admin powers" checkbox on Compatibility tab. Confirm your changes, and it should work fine from now on. The confusion (and the problem) stems from the fact that the windows shortcut have two places to raise "Needs to be admin" flag. One in "Link - Advanced...", which sets the flag in the shortcut itself, and the other in Compatibility, which sets the flag FOR APPLICATION, no matter from which shortcut, or even without, you starting it. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 11.02.2014, <06:35> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
