Use single quotes for the cd command so that if the Windows shell
substitutes something ending in backslash for %1 it doesn't escape the close
quote.

Use the Directory key instead of the Folder one. (The difference being that
Folder includes fictions of the Windows shell namespace that don't
correspond to real directories.)

To allow invocation of a prompt via the context menu of a drive icon apply
the command to the Drive key as well as the Directory one.

Finally, by including a default value for the command, you can add an
underline shortcut to the context menu.

(Most of this is really nothing to do with cygwin - it's all standard
Windows stuff.)
