Hi In cygstart 1.4, "cygstart --reference" opens a web browser to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/Shell/reference/functions/shellexecute.asp
which microsoft redirects to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ms123402.aspx which now 404s. Now, from one perspective is Microsoft's fault for breaking their URLs. But should we rely on Microsoft not to break their website? Maybe that's expecting a bit too much from life :) And this bug could be fixed, by changing the URL in the code to one that now works, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153(VS.85).aspx But really, shouldn't this feature just be removed? What is the justification for hardcoding Microsoft URLs in source code, given that it creates a bug every time Microsoft reorganizes their website.
