I was able to use Windows Explorer to open the file by double clicking the file. I was able to use cygstart open the file with full path. The problem is with all file type. I can do a cygstart http://www.cygwin.com/ with no problem. The result from: strace cygstart hello.txt |grep hello.txt is as below: 20 11399 [main] cygstart 732 build_argv: argv[1] = 'hello.txt' 202 12600 [main] cygstart 732 normalize_posix_path: src hello.txt 46 12686 [main] cygstart 732 normalize_posix_path: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt = normalize_posix_path (hello.txt) 22 12708 [main] cygstart 732 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt) 135 12843 [main] cygstart 732 mount_info::cygdrive_win32_path: src '/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt', dst 'c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt' 21 12960 [main] cygstart 732 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt, dst c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt, flags 0x2A, rc 0 73 13033 [main] cygstart 732 symlink_info::check: GetFileAttributes (c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt) failed 47 13103 [main] cygstart 732 symlink_info::check: GetFileAttributes (c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt.lnk) failed 169 13294 [main] cygstart 732 symlink_info::check: 0 = symlink.check (c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt, 0x22C040) (0x80002A) 26 13619 [main] cygstart 732 path_conv::check: this->path(c:\WINDOWS\system32\hello.txt), has_acls(1) Unable to start 'hello.txt': The specified file was not found.
It seems it is looking at the wrong directory. Thanks. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
