There's a feature in Win7 similar to QuickLinks that I've been using to "pin" my applications to the task bar for a quick start. I'd like to do the same for Cygwin, but since it starts as batch file, all the "pin" function does is give me a DOS prompt. Has anyone encountered this before, and devised a fix for it? I think I can just whip up a short C program to execute bash like the batch file does, and then just pin that executable. But does anyone know of something better? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
