Hongxun, Here are the elements you need: For BASH users (equivalents presumably exist in other shells): % help test ... -h FILE True if file is a symbolic link. -L FILE True if file is a symbolic link. ... % man readlink % cygpath --help Now, write a BASH (or other shell) script that, after using the aforementioned primitives to get a native Windows name for the target file, invokes: cmd /q /c start /b WindowsFileName You will then no longer need to construct one-off BAT files to open files from Cygwin. See my message from yesterday with the Subject "CYGWIN=ntsec Pragmattics" (sic) for a caveat about file permissions and use of the "cmd ..." invocation I mentioned just above.
