OK, I've installed Cygwin 1.7.1 on a Windows 7 x64 system. The system didn't have a previous version of Cygwin. I installed just the default packages plus "chere". Once the installation was done, I invoked 'chere -i' from a command prompt started as Administrator and running 'bash -li'. The configuration of "chere" succeeded and I found "Bash Prompt Here" was available in the context menu for directories. I find the same is true on Windows 7 x86. So I guess this isn't allot of help beyond the information that this does work on systems running Windows 7. Perhaps someone with Vista x64 will be able to answer your original question. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
