It would be convenient for users to open specific folder in terminal by just

Yes, please, it would be cool to have this as DEFAULT in the MS

Yeah, this seems like a good idea. Someone should do that. :)
I think the place to start might be with improving the integration of
the 'chere' package, so it has a postinstall/preremove script to
create/remove a context menu entry to start bash under mintty.
(I don't understand quite why chere can't give you "the shell you
currently have configured in /etc/passwd" (i.e. 'mintty -') rather than
having all of them as options...)
Then the next step would probably be adding the option/checkbox to
setup and exposing it to that script via CYGWIN_SETUP_OPTIONS.
