Thanks. For the rxvt junkies I have improved it (made worse?): REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command] @="&Zsh Prompt Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\command\command] @="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\rxvt.exe -e /bin/zsh --login -i -s \"%1\"" and... if [[ $OSTYPE = cygwin && $ARGC = 1 ]]; then cd $@; fi If you have a call to "screen" which is the only thing I have in my .zlogin) the screen call has to be the last statement.
