Setup.exe: resets /home symlink to directory when run

Hello everyone, Apologizes if my question is addressed somewhere. I'm new to Cygwin and I'm uncertain how to research this question further, so I would like to turn to this list for help. In my Cygwin installation I've deleted the /home directory and created a symlink in its place that links to t

Using cmd.exe as an emacs shell

Dear all, Just to let you know that my issue could be solved following the advise from Herrn Kampe. That is, I could write rem @echo off start c:\Progra~1\Google\Google~1\googletalk.exe /startmenu start c:\Progra~1\Wxi86f~1\Messen~1\msnmsgr.exe in the bat file, to get what I need.
