Can anybody help with a single keyboard command that would move the user to the Desktop, usable across all systems? I've got as far as ~> cygpath -D /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/fergus/Desktop ~> cygpath -D | xargs ls # demo: spaces are a pain ls: /cygdrive/c/Documents: No such file or directory ls: and: No such file or directory ls: Settings/fergus/Desktop: No such file or directory ~> cygpath -D | sed 's/ /\\ /g' # OK recover spaces /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/fergus/Desktop ~> cygpath -D | sed 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs ls Command Prompt.lnk Signature.txt desktop.ini What I'm actually after is something like ~> cd `cygpath -D` to move me to the Desktop (but that particular syntax fails). Any ideas? Thanks.
