Ah. But what if you want to link to: rxvt.exe -rv -fn "FixedSys" -e /bin/bash --login -i --or-- command.com /E:4096 /c bash.exe --login -i from the working directory c:\cygwin\bin --or-- http://www.cygwin.com/FAQ/ My point is, there are a lot more possible options in W32 shortcuts that seem to be supported by the setup.exe mklink2.c COM interface. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
