In Windows Explorer I want to add a "CYGWIN Shell" context menu option
on file system folders, giving me a quick way to open a Cygwin window
pointing at the selected folder. This is what I came up with:
1. In the cygwin.bat file I add the line
set __CYG_PATH_=%~1
(somewhere before 'bash --login -i' line)
2. In my .bash_profile I add the line:
cd "$__CYG_PATH_"
3. I add to the registry the following lines:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygCmd]
@="CYGWIN Shell"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygCmd\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CygCmd]
@="CYGWIN Shell"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CygCmd\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat \"%1\""
I wonder if there isn't a simpler and nicer way to do this?
