Corrina's right - check that the same user is being used in both cases. 
I don't think this would explain why it's not working from the context 
menus though. Finding out why bash under mintty doesn't think 
/cygdrive/y/apps is a directory is the key.

Workaround: if you change everything in the if [ ! -z "$2" ] test in 
xhere to the snippet below, chere will attempt to change to the 
directory (but may fail)


Regards,

Dave.

if [ ! -z "$2" ]; then
  CHERE_DIR=`$CYGPATH "$2"`
  NETWORK_PATH=/$CHERE_DIR
  if [ -d "$CHERE_DIR" ]; then
   cd "$CHERE_DIR"

  # If the full path doesn't exist, this is prob a network path
  elif [ -d "$NETWORK_PATH" ]; then
   cd "$NETWORK_PATH"

  # Not a directory? Take a guess...
  else
   cd "$CHERE_DIR"
