RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

["Tim Beuman" <timb at cdvinc dot com>]

In Explorer:

Tools->Folder Options
select tab: "File Types"
select Extensions: "N/A, File Folder" (use "N/A, Drive for setting the same
action at drive level)
click Advanced
click New
enter "Cygwin shell" or whatever you want to name it in the Action field
enter "C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat" or something like this in the "Application used
to perform action" field
click OK several times till you are back in the Explorer
done!

Subject: Open bash at the current explorer directory?


Hello,

I am using Win2000 Pro, SP3.   Is there a way to invoke an interactive bash
shell at a particular directory, without using a .bashrc or similar file?
I.e. on the command lie alone?  The --login and -c options appear to be
mutually exclusive.  I would like to be able browse quickly to a directory
with explorer, option/right click on the directory, then select a custom
"open with cygwin" option, and have the bash shell open at that
directory.  Has anyone tried this?
