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)
Are you running the command from inside your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory? When I run the command, it checks my current directory before looking anywhere else.
