RE: STARTXWIN.BAT Hanging Under Win2KPro

["Charli Li" <KBarticle889459 at aim dot com>]

I have W2K Professional, and it works just fine.  You may want to edit the
startxwin.bat file to fit your needs. (Rightclick startxwin.bat > edit)  For
your convenience, I wrote up this seperate little batch script (run under
cmd or standalone):

@echo off

C:
set CYGWINBASE=C:\cygwin
set HOME=%CYGWINBASE%\home\[username]
set PATH=%PATH%;%CYGWINBASE%\bin
chdir=%CYGWINBASE%\bin

cd ..
cd usr\X11R6\bin
startxwin.bat

Reply if this helps or not.
