It wasn't clear to me from reading the man page for mkshortcut that there was a way to create other Cygwin shortcuts alongside the default Start->Program Files->Cygwin ones.
So, FYI, when you specify the name with the -n option, you can name `directories' in the normal way. E.g.: mkshortcut -A -P -n "Cygwin/Xwindows" /startx.bat luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
