Well thanks I will have to try that.
My only other option was to create a menu and execute in from my profile
... and instead of shortcuts ... they would be options off a menu.
I also found out you can create symbolic links under Win 7, WIn XP (you
must download this Junction Program) and also do this under various
Unix/Linux versions.

Can some on give me a help with creating a shortcut to a shell script
under Windows 7 ?
I am doing something like this in the windows shorcut :
C:\CygwinSoftware\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico --exec
/cygdrive/x/INBOUND/CWSCRIPTS/mymenu.sh
Well I found in the documentation that when you run a script this
way, it is not an interactive shell and it does not process your
.bashprofile and .bashrc and all the good stuff it normally does when
it logs in. I am missing aliases when it logs in this way.
How can I create a shortcut that would process my normal startup
files and then run the script I what ?
From cmd.exe you can exec bash with the login and interactive flags,
and pass it a command like this to see all your vars:
C:\Apps\Cyg\bin\mintty.exe --exec /bin/bash --login -i -c "set && read x"
In Windows create a shortcut and simply paste the above in.
