I had/have cygwin working for a while now. Yesterday I did something stupid, and now double-clicking the cygwin link on my windows xp desktop gives me the message: "Cannot find C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat".
I was trying to get add an option for startxwin, so I right-clicked the link I had for startxwin. Then next to a icon of a bat file, there was a line with "startxwin". I changed that to "startxwin -emulate3buttons". Obviously it did not work, so I changed it back. But now I can't double-click the link anymore. gives me that dreaded message.. I've been searching for a solution, and the closest I got was this August/04 thread which mentions possible permissions messed up. ----------------------------------quote: > At 12:31 PM 8/12/2004, you wrote: ...cut > > > >"Cannot find C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat or one of its components". > I'd recommend starting here: > > >Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > > > It would also be helpful, specifically, to know what you did that > generates that message. I'll bet the answer will be "Double-clicked the cygwin icon"! If the batch file is there, but it can't run, the permissions on it are probably messed up. ----------------------------end of quote. How do I check these permissions? What should they be? Thanks in advance, Carlos __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
