I think 'mintty'/'bash' window flashes open and closed. Menu item
for Cygwin remanined cygwin_bash. Command doesn't work in exactly
the same way as before.

Value was null.

Value was null.

The Only thing that the HowToGeek article showed, was how to get a
momentary <SHIFT><right click> menu item for 'cmd'. Yes, this
works on my system, including opening the 'cmd' window.

However, your registry key comments were helpful.  Okay, now
we're gettin' somewhere. Where? You tell me.

When I 'regedit'ed the registry with what you specified in the
above paragraphs, using "Mintty_Bash" &:

  C:\_0\bin\mintty.exe --icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -

the 'mintty'/'bash' window opens, but not to the folder indicated.
