You can open the Windows Explorer from the Cygwin bash prompt simply
by typing:
cygstart .
The Explorer shows the contents of the current bash directory.
That's very handy, I have been using that tip for years.
Cygstart is not needed in this case. Explorer can be launched directly.
This works from cmd.exe and from any cygwin shell:
explorer .
Note that privilege elevation is not inherited from shell to explorer.
