Which is it? It's something completely different. CW_SYNC_WINCWD is to sync the CWD. But it's your choice, whether ^^^ you use CW_SYNC_WINCWD or just utilize the lpCurrentDirectory param to CreateProcess. > > http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html#setup-env-win32 > > Thanks. CW_SYNC_WINENV is for sync'ing the Win32 *environment* with the Cygwin ^^^ environment.
