From: ben modra To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi, After performing a standard (default) install using setup-x86.exe, there are no shortcuts in the start menu or desktop. I don't really mind but don't know how to initiate cygwin without it. Its a work pc, which means I have little control over the system, and it has been meddled with quite a bit. Running XP. It quite common for this to happen on installing software, and I usually just make a desktop shortcut. Must be unusual for others because I can't find any reference to it in the archives. Can you please tell me how to run cygwin without the shortcut?
