Here's my latest attempt: $ chere -i -a -n -e Bitte Bash Bei -t mintty -o \ --icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 - Shell defaulting to bash defined for lr First, it doesn't work, so that when I right-click on a directory and select the 'chere' option, I get the following text box message: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing thia action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel. Second, no matter what menu expression (argument to '-e'), I give it, it always ends up being: cygwin_bash Fortumately, 'chere -u' seems to work. Notes: 1. $ cygcheck -c chere Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status chere 1.1-1 OK 2. My Windows System PATH includes '/bin' in Windows format. 3. I always run the 'chere' command in an as Administrator window. 4. The above install command is only one of tens of option permutations I've tried, all chere-less-Lee. Clearly, I have nothing to cheere about! ;-) Clues? I've always found 'chere -i' works for me.
