It would be convenient for users to open specific folder in terminal by just right-click it, like Git Bash and Windows Terminal.
Note: I hope this change would work on Windows 11 right-click menu. (Because I don't like "Show more options" or Shift + Right-click)

search for the 'chere' package in setup
I use this .reg file:
C:\Installed>cat cygwinHere.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; add a Windows Explorer right-click option for folders to
; Open Bash Shell Here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\bashShell]
@="Open Bash Shell Here"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\bashShell\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /c \"pushd %L && set
CHERE_INVOKING=1 && c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe --login -i\""
; @="C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c \"pushd %L && set CHERE_INVOKING=1
&& c:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe - \""
; which has the annoying flash of the DOS cmd window opening & closing
before the mintty window opens
C:\Installed>

I'm still on Windows 10; I have no idea what does/doesn't work on Windows 11

chere gets the option onto the "Show more options" list. I agree that is
less helpful than it was in Win10. If anyone knows how to get something
to stay on the primary context menu, that would be great.

Yes, please, it would be cool to have this as DEFAULT in the MS
Explorer right-click context menu for dirs

To be clear, on Windows 11, this shows the "classic full" context menu instead
of what Windows considers important or recent plus "Show more options..."!
Surely you mean (-v displays confirmation):
$ regtool add -v
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
Key {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2} created
$ regtool add -v
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}/InprocServer32
Key InprocServer32 created
$ regtool list -pv
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}

Yeah, this seems like a good idea. Someone should do that. :)
I think the place to start might be with improving the integration of
the 'chere' package, so it has a postinstall/preremove script to
create/remove a context menu entry to start bash under mintty.
(I don't understand quite why chere can't give you "the shell you
currently have configured in /etc/passwd" (i.e. 'mintty -') rather than
having all of them as options...)
Then the next step would probably be adding the option/checkbox to
setup and exposing it to that script via CYGWIN_SETUP_OPTIONS.
