Please explain what you mean by this.

to switch to bash already executed.

Well right now I can bring up dos and type "bash" to get bash in that
window.

I would like not to have to type "bash".

I would like to bring up a dos window and have bash already be there
as if I typed bash.

How about the Cygwin shortcut on your desktop or start menu?

I use that.

I also still use Explorer. I have some powertools/wintoys set up so that

I can click on any folder in explorer and pull up a dos window that is initialized in that directory. When I type "bash" and get bash in these
dos windows it is also initialized in that directory. I would like to sharpen this convenience further by not having to type "bash" in such situations
