That's fine, because you've simply opened your xterm from within windows. In startxwin.bat I think I have only un-commented the following line: run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs After that I have created several shortcuts for an xterm window and also to connect to external Linux boxes: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn 7x14 -g 120x24 -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg white -T "cygwin terminal Window" -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -ls -si -sk -sb -fg white -bg blue -fn 7x14 -g 120x24 -T "lxplus.cern.ch" -e ssh -X -Y -l mylogin mymachine.cern.ch I hope this may help you.
