Not a problem for me: $ echo $PATH /usr/bin $ cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "https://www.google.com"; -bash: cmd: command not found $ cygstart "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "https://www.google.com"; -- starts IE & loads www.google.com What happens if you do "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "https://www.google.com"; in a dos window?
