Thanks. For the rxvt junkies I have improved it (made worse?):

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command]
@="&Zsh Prompt Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -e /bin/zsh --login -i -s \"%1\""

and...

if [[ $OSTYPE = cygwin && $ARGC = 1 ]]; then 
    cd $@; fi
    
If you have a call to "screen" which is the only thing I have in my
.zlogin) the screen call has to be the last statement.
