For anyone using 'chere' interested in having the Cygwin icon in the context menu, you can use the following commands: regtool -w -s set /HKCU/Software/Classes/Drive/Shell/cygwin64_bash/Icon 'C:\cygwin64\Cygwin-Terminal.ico' regtool -w -s set

Perl library request - local::lib

Please add the local::lib library to the available perl packages. This allows bootstrapping many other packages directly from cpan into a local directory without polluting the main Cygwin files. Thank you. ~ Brian -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ:

Installer request: Remember state of final checkboxes between runs

Every time the installer is run, it asks to create an icon on the desktop. I do not want an icon on my desktop, and I have to uncheck this box every time. I have probably done this 100 times since I've been using Cygwin over the years. The installer should remember that this option was declined

Re: chere mintty window position

Are you seeing this on Windows 10? I have noticed a lot of other apps do this as well on Windows 10, such as Evernote and Firefox. It seems to be caused by the invisible window border that Windows 10 puts on everything to make it appear that apps have no border, but still give you enough pixels
