I only have ntsec in $CYGWIN.
I tried your advise below but "cygpath -w -l" returns garbage!
The very first problem is that env CFH="%1" in the register inserts the short windows form.
Is it possible to force windows to insert the long form?
:-)

Gunnar,
This is exactly what the `cygpath -w -l` is supposed to do. The problem
is that I forgot that the currently compiled cygpath is buggy (not sure
why, recompiling it from 1.3.12-4 sources works). Either recompile
cygpath, or use the attached binary (compiled on Win2k, don't know if it
matters).

Oops, just re-read this... Brrrr, should drink more coffee before
replying to mails... Here's another try:
Gunnar,
Converting short paths to long is exactly the intent of the `cygpath -w
-l` line. However, the cygpath executable in the current distribution of
cygwin doesn't work. You can simply recompile cygpath from the sources,
or use the executable in the previous message (I've posted it once before,
too, so you can search the archives). The latter does involve some degree
of trust... :-D
Hope this is more readable.
