Years ago this was the default way to start cygwin (I don't think I've changed it, but who knows??) C:\cygwin>type Cygwin.bat @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i There's a Cygwin.bat in /etc/defaults that needs to be copied to the cygwin root directory: C:\cygwin>type etc\defaults\Cygwin.bat @echo off setlocal enableextensions set TERM= cd /d "%~dp0bin" && .\bash --login -i C:\cygwin> "cd /d" - Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to changing current directory for a drive. "%~dp0" gives the path of the script, so if the .bat file is in C:\cygwin then "%~dp0bin" expands to C:\cygwin\bin Regards Lee -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
