If so, the list to send your package information to is cygwin-apps. People there can help you pull together what you need. If not, then one of the main reasons for my sending my original email was to shut down this interminable and repeated discussion and come up with a solution for everyone that could be installed via setup.exe.

Re: [INFO] Adding "cygwin here" to Windows Explorer
Hi guys, Just to add my 2 dimes, here's what I use: Registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell] @="Cygwin Shell Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell\command] @="c:\\cygwin\\usr\\x11r6\\bin\\run.exe /usr/bin/sh.exe /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here \"%l\"" Add content of /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here: #!/bin/sh cd "$(/usr/bin/cygpath --unix "$1")" shift if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then exec /usr/bin/rxvt $* else exec /usr/bin/uxterm $* fi I always have DISPLAY set to :0.0 by default in the windows registry since I start the X server on boot. Also, I never use rxvt, always xterm/uxterm so I added the logic above as an example. Of course, the $* argument passing is totally wrong since rxvt and uxterm do not take the same arguments... but again, that's just an example. Since it will always start uxterm for me, that means that my preferred shell (/bin/tcsh) is used instead of bash.

[INFO] Adding "Cygwin here" to Windows Explorer
Hi, some of you may find this useful. I did the following, works perfectly for me: Last line of ~/.zlogin is: [[ "$OSTYPE" = *cygwin* && $ARGC -eq 1 ]] && cd "$@" And this registry settings was added to Windows registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command] @="Cygwin Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command\command] @="\"C:\\cygwin\\bin\\zsh.exe\" -l -s \"%1\"" With these, when I right-click a folder on Windows Explorer, one available option is "Cygwin Here" that start Cygwin+zsh and then cd to the right-clicked directory. __ Do you Yahoo!?
