And, on top of that, if you must refer to something in "Program Files" you need to realize that it can be on any drive and its spelling will depend on the localization of Windows, so it is almost always a bad idea to hardcode "c:\program files" anywhere. Better would be to use $(cygpath "$PROGRAMFILES"), but in this case assuming the user wants to use IE would be inexcusably bad, so cygstart is where it's at. :) Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
