This adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen. If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been added to the context menus, and the associated keys. Finally, chere can remove any context menu items it has created. Please consult the inbuilt help for details on usage (chere -h). Known issues ------------ A preliminary version is also on the mirrors (0.2-1). Avoid it, and wait until you see 0.3-1. You may notice a window flash by as the shell starts. The passwd shell does what /etc/passwd tells it to. So make sure /etc/passwd is reasonable. When using the passwd shell, you may notice a spare sh in the Task Manager. This will close when you exit the terminal session. You must have Admin priveleges to install the context menus. The windows control panel uninstall will not work if you uninstall chere. If you are about to remove cygwin, uninstall the context menus first. Enjoy, -- Dave Please report any bugs to the Cygwin mailing list, following the procedure in http://cygwin.com/problems.html. In addition you should attach the (verbatim) output of `chere -r`. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
