RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?

[Gunnar Boström <Gunnar dot Bostrom at kiconsulting dot se>]

I only have ntsec in $CYGWIN.
I tried your advise below but "cygpath -w -l" returns garbage!
The very first problem is that env CFH="%1" in the register inserts the short windows form.
Is it possible to force windows to insert the long form?
:-)
