I do not have the .bat extension file in the list either. ----- Original Message ---- From: "Davies, Roger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 12:44:17 AM Subject: RE: cygwin/x fails to run on WinXP when cygwin.bat executed instead a different software phpEdit runs
If I'm not mistaken, phpEdit defined itself as the default program for .bat files. To check, open a Windows Explorer (not internet explorer, select Tools then Folder Options, go to the File Types tab and look for the .BAT extension. It probably is se to open with phpEdit. I think if you delete that extension type, it will default back to running. I certainly have no entry for bat file types. Hope that helps. ______________ Roger Davies PeopleSoft HRMS 970.397.5548 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shewaferaw Shibeshi Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 10:24 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: cygwin/x fails to run on WinXP when cygwin.bat executed instead a different software phpEdit runs 1) cygwin has been running on my WinXP machine as a charm until I installed phpEdit software few days ago. After I installed this software when I try to run the program by executing (double clicking the icon) cygwin.bat instead of cygwin this newly installed program phpEdit starts to run. It sounds some form of hijacking cygwin takes place. 2) As an intervention even after I uninstalled phpedit cygwin still fails to run. What happens is instead the famous Windows dialogue box pop ups asking which program to use to open cygwin.bat file defaulting to notepad as the best program to open it-remember my intention is to run not to see content of file. 3) As a second intervention, I unistalled the old cygwin and downloaded a fresh setup.exe file and also downloaded and performed a new install even from different mirrors. But the problem still persist. Again and again it ask me to choose a program to open the "cygwin.bat" file despite the fact that what I want is to run not to open. When I use note pad and open the content I only get a text file of "cygwin.bat" with the following content: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i How can I make cygwin run? Why particularly this problem is manifested after I installed phpEdit? When cygwin supposed to run when cygwin.bat executed why phpEdit instead run?
