  Use double quotes; this batch file is parsed by cmd.exe, which doesn't
recognize single quotes, but it does recognise the '&&' token, so it breaks
the line there and attempts to run

bash --login -i -c 'cd /cygdrive/c

followed by (if that exits with no error status)

exec bash'

which it doesn't understand!

    cheers,
