?? That's how Windows Cmd.exe works. If rxvt does something different then it does some magic and it would definitely irritating to me if cmd would /not/ keep a Window open until mintty is closed. If you want the "old" behaviour of the command.com/Windows 9X environment, you have to use "start". > > Speaking of cygwin.bat, is that actually still needed?

Not just for the shortcut. Windows has a GUI setting for user and system variables (which is quite lenthy to access).
