Thanks Igor, it works with the cygpath that you sent me.

I have still one little problem. 
I can't get it to work when I select a drive. 
I get a DOS window where some text flies by, I think it's the output from env, 
and then the window disappears.
 
It works fine when I select a directory
I have the following command in the registry (windows XP pro) for both Directory and Drive.

env.exe  CYGWINSTARTHERE="%1" bash --login

Suggestions?
:-)
