Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm still learning my way around windows, and some of the concepts are very foreign to me. I decided to reinstall cygwin, since I hadn't put any work into that install yet. I had one question regarding your last message, though. You said: >No, not at all. I was referring to '/usr/bin/run' which hides the console >of console apps when run directly from the Windows Explorer, for example. >'cygrunsrv' is similar to 'service' under Linux.

OK then, so cygrunserv would be to run something in a manner similar to the services that I see in 'msconfig', whereas '/usr/bin/run' would just allow me to run cygwin applications from the windows "Run" dialog without having to run the Cygwin Bash shell. Is this correct, or did I miss something?
