If you have a Windows shortcut to IE, try cygstart "C:\[path to shortcut]\Internet Explorer.lnk" For the record, these work for me: cygstart "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" cygstart "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://www.google.com"; - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID.
