Sure. We are both talking about following key, right?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\0cmd-rxvt]
@="Open rxvt Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\0cmd-rxvt\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg white -sr -sl 1000 -fn
\"Fixedsys\" -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -c \"cd \\\"`cygpath -u '%1'`\\\";
exec bash\""
It didn't work for me. My settings in .bash_profile were not executed in the
final 'exec bash' but in the -e /usr/bin/bash, which is wrong, because it
gets forgotten by the exec'ed shell. If you add -l (exec -l bash) it is
executed twice. In my case it tells me two fortune cookies instead of one.
That's nice, but they may run out quickly :)

Not long ago someone posted a registry key to do this with right-click
button option. It works quite well and you can modify the key to your own
preferences (background colour, font colour, etc.). Someone posted a way
to opne a explorer from current bash PWD.
