Thanks. As mentioned in a previous post, I got the shortcut that is placed on the desktop working to start up with Zshell. So, all is well in the universe.

Since rxvt is no longer viable, I went digging into the properties and help for mintty and added what was needed to start zsh. All is well now.

Use mintty instead which should have been installed if you actually used setup.exe to install Cygwin.

rxvt won't stay running
I've installed the latest (as of this writing) Cygwin base and a few other packages. I have a startup batch file on my XP box that I copied over to the new Win7 box (modifying the HOME variable to match the new box). I also copied over the home directory from the XP box, so that I can get the .z* setup files and scripts that I have in my bin directory. But, when I run it, it just flashes and dies. Here is the contents: == @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin set HOME=\cygwin\home\Brown rxvt -e /bin/zsh --login -i == Any ideas why it is failing? Something you need me to look at? It isn't anything in the home files that I copied over from the XP box, because before I did that, I tried starting and it flashed and died.
