I ran chere as follows:

    chere -i -t mintty -s bash -a -n -e"bash Shell Here" -o "-s140,50"

However, the Windows Explorer context menu reads:

    cygwin_bash 

not "bash Shell Here", and when clicking on it I get an error dialog:
  
    [directory in which I clicked context menu]
    This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  
    Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.

I have updated all Cygwin packages to the latest available.
Output of chere -r (bash keys only, all others empty):

    $ chere -r
    OS is CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64
    chere version 1.1
