chere is a Cygwin package to manage Shell Here functionality. It adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen.
If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been added to the context menus, and the associated keys. Finally, chere can remove any context menu items it has created. Please consult the man page for details on usage (man chere). Changes (since 0.4-1 (test)) ------- * Add install for for current user * Improved key handling for install/uninstall * Man page added Known issues ------------ The default zsh and tcsh startup scripts are in the process of being updated to work with chere. In the meantime these shells will start in the home directory instead of in that desired. chere adds an uninstall item to the Windows Control Panel for each shell context menu you add using chere. This feature relies on chere, and as such does not work after chere itself has been uninstalled. If you have context menus and plan to remove Cygwin, uninstall the context menus before you uninstall Cygwin :) Enjoy, -- Dave Please report any bugs to the Cygwin mailing list, following the procedure in http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
