Thanks Igor, it works with the cygpath that you sent me.
I have still one little problem.
I can't get it to work when I select a drive.
I get a DOS window where some text flies by, I think it's the output from env,
and then the window disappears.
It works fine when I select a directory
I have the following command in the registry (windows XP pro) for both Directory and Drive.
env.exe CYGWINSTARTHERE="%1" bash --login
Suggestions?
:-)
