   The problem is that I want to pass diferent directories each time. My 
final intention is to create a shell extension so that users could right 
click a directory and select "Open bash here". To do that, I need to 
give Windows a command like this:

bash_command %1

(and Windows will change %1 for a given directory).

   Do you imagine what bash_command.bat could be so that it could 
execute bash -i --login and then have it to go to the given directory?
