Subject:	No shortcuts after default install - how to start cygwin?
From:	ben modra <bdmodra AT gmail DOT com>
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

Hi,
After performing a standard (default) install using setup-x86.exe,
there are no shortcuts in the start menu or desktop.  I don't really
mind but don't know how to initiate cygwin without it.

Its a work pc, which means I have little control over the system, and
it has been meddled with quite a bit.  Running XP.  It quite common
for this to happen on installing software, and I usually just make a
desktop shortcut. Must be unusual for others because I can't find any
reference to it in the archives.

Can you please tell me how to run cygwin without the shortcut?

Thanks
