Cygwin Shell Here

Cygwin Shell Here

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 776 bytes --]

In Windows Explorer I want to add a "CYGWIN Shell" context menu option 
on file system folders, giving me a quick way to open a Cygwin window 
pointing at the selected folder. This is what I came up with:

1. In the cygwin.bat file I add the line

set __CYG_PATH_=%~1

(somewhere before 'bash --login -i' line)


2. In my .bash_profile I add the line:

cd "$__CYG_PATH_"


3. I add to the registry the following lines:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygCmd]
@="CYGWIN Shell"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygCmd\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CygCmd]
@="CYGWIN Shell"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CygCmd\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat \"%1\""


I wonder if there isn't a simpler and nicer way to do this?

Gregory

Do you Google?  You'll find lots of discussion about how this can be
done in the email archives.  The topic has come up a few times in the 
past.

Cygwin shell here

[bob]

I have looked, but cannot find how to do this.  I would like to add  a 
right-click option to "Open cygwin shell here" for both folders and 
files.  What is the registry entry I should use to accomplish this in 
win xp?
