For me, the above method always starts in the $HOME directory (due to /etc/profile action). I have to use: C:\cygwin\bin\env.exe CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/bash --login -i with the wanted directory in "Start in". I guess you have made changes in /etc/profile if it works for you. See the "Re: Window shortcut to launch a Mintty login bash on a given directory" thread with Andy's explanations. -- 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
