Any chance you've got a Windows environment variable called SHELL that's set to cmd.exe? Try this to check: echo %SHELL% MinTTY 0.4 looks in that variable for a command to execute, like rxvt and xterm do. To override it, change your shortcut to this: Target : C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash -l Andy -- 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/
