If you are using the desktop shortcut the Cygwin installer created for you, you can edit c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and change the line that starts bash. I used to use rxvt through a shortcut with a following command: c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login This could easily be changed to run zsh instead Currently I'm using mintty with a shortcut like this: c:\cygwin\bin\mintty - This starts the shell in /etc/password. Again, it should be trivial to change /etc/password or invoke zsh explicitly in the shortcut Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of this with zsh (: I'm sticking to bash :) -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
