I do not think it is a convincing example. cmd.exe treats everything that follows / c as a single command, so yuo would get the same result even without quotes. cygstart --wait $WINDIR/system32/cmd /c echo 1 2 \& pause The problem is probably that windows passes arguments as a concatenated string, to be parsed by the application. Try to pass the whole command line to your program, it may work better: cygstart /cygdrive/d/Software/Console2/Console.exe '-d "C:/Program Files" ' Regards, Ilya -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
