Hi, For some reason M-! start . RET or M-! cygstart . RET (cygstart is ~"start for Cygwin") takes about 15s before I get the explorer window. If, on the other hand, I say M-! start .& RET, the window opens instantly.
My shell-file-name is zsh and start is a zsh function start () { cmd /c start \"\" $* } but this doesn't seem to be zsh-specific because if I set shell-file-name to cmdproxy, I get the same behaviour. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what might cause it? I'm using EmacsW32 22.0.990.1 2007-05-23 on 32bit Windows XP SP3. -- Hannu
