Fwd: How to run windows cmd without cygwin

Fwd: How to run windows cmd without cygwin

[Haris Hashim]

Hi all,

I have been using cygwin for several years now and love it.

However at the moment I need to run windows command shell (i.e. the
cmd) clean and pure without cygwin.

For instance if I click start, type cmd and enter, I will open the cmd
shell. With cygwin installed, this command shell can be used to
execute linux/unix command like ls, grep, env and such.

I need this cmd shell to be returned back to original windows cmd
shell without the cygwin part. And without having to install cygwin.
Best if I can somehow turn on and off the cygwin part as needed.

Thanks in Advance
Haris

I do not see the problem.

Run cmd.exe and define the PATH to not use Cygwin one.

Programs. Not commands.
It is no coincidence you can run any program from console.
This is, at the end of the day, what console is for - to run programs.

It already is. I don't understand your question.

Can you please specify more clearly, what you want to achieve?
Explaining the problem from the middle doesn't quite help to resolve it.
