Hi,
I hope that this isn't a daft question, or something that I have forgotten
to do...
I hate cmd.exe and its environment with a passion. I hadn't been using
Cygwin much because it still lived within the cmd.exe terminal emulator.
Someone on another email list suggested that I should use rxvt which comes
with Cygwin, so I created a shortcut with the 'Target' of (obviously all
on one line):
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg Black -fg White -si -sr -sl 5000 -tn ansi
-title "Cygwin Bash" -e C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe --login -i
This starts a very nice rxvt terminal emulator and I am very happy, but if
I close all of the rxvt's I've had open in a day and log out of Win2K I am
asked to kill one program with the name like "rxvt000003fc" for every rxvt
I have started in that way.
Is there a way I can get around this, without having to have any cmd.exe's
ever appearing on my desktop?
Thanks in advance.

How do you close your rxvts? By clicking on the [x]? If so, don't do
that. :-)
Close them in the normal UNIX way, that is, either exit or ^D on the
command line.
Works fine for me, I'm also using a similar shortcut.
A few random comments on your shortcut:
* -tn rxvt might give you better terminal emulation
* rxvt is a Cygwin app, so it expects a posix path - /usr/bin/bash is better.

up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning

Humm, I guess I'm used to using Xterms and SSH clients on Wondoze, yes I
was just closing the rxvt window by hitting the [x]. I've slapped my
wrists, but I think it might be better if one *could* just close the
window and not have this problem.

Thanks for both of those tips.
