So, How do I ungum this shortcut? I searched for files '*txt1*'
on my computer but found no matches. A colleague doesn't have this
problem but does use IE. He installed cygwin 'for all users'
because he has admin privilege on his own PC whereas because
I do not have this privilege, I had to install cygwin 'for me only'.
Could this be related to the problem?
Thanks for any support.
