All,
I have a couple of questions for y'all, but first the background:
I like to be able to right click a folder in explorer and have a menu item : Cygwin Here that opens a Cygwin command prompt at the folder that I have selected. I wrote this registry file to accomplish the task and it works. However, I had to edit /etc/profile and comment out cd $HOME - I added a line pwd to print the current directory as well. This is great when I am using the Cygwin Here action, but it messes with the normal shortcut as well (it starts up in /usr/bin because the cd $HOME was commented out). Ideally, if I use the Cygwin Here action, it would start me up in whatever folder I had selected and when I double click the shortcut it would start me in /home/wsenn. This brings up the second problem which is $HOME, my $HOME variable points to d:\Documents and Settings\wsenn, not /home/wsenn (my preference since the other is cluttered with junk for XP).
Here's the registry export: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygwinHere] @="Cygwin Prompt Here" "EditFlags"=hex:01,00,00,00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygwinHere\command] @="D:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe --login -i"
My questions are: 1. Is there a better way of doing the Cygwin Prompt Here/Normal Shortcut startup? 2. Why not $CYGWIN_HOME?
Thanks,
Will
