David,
This has come up often enough that a FAQ entry probably would be
worthwhile.
For complete coverage, commands are needed for both Directory and
Drive The commands also need to be modified if the executable isn't in
c:\cygwin\bin\. Because of the extra 'exec' call these startups are
slightly slower than some of the other suggestions, but no changes are
needed in cygwin.bat or /etc/profile.
I am not the original source of the command lines, but I no longer recall
who posted them to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.
I don't use rxvt.exe myself. I have made sure the commands below actually
start it, but there are probably better options available for rxvt.exe.
=======
How do I add Cygwin to folder context menus?
To have Windows Explorer start a Bash console or rxvt window in any
directory, save the. following lines to a file with a .reg extention,
change the command lines to point to where bash.exe and rxvt.exe are
installed, and run the file.
You can change the string that appears in the context menu by changing
"&Bash This" or "rxvt Here" to your prefered string. The character after
'&' is the shortcut key for the command.
Run 'man rxvt' to see the options available for customizing the rxvt
window.
