Quick Tip: Cygwin here shortcut, Explorer here shortcut

This post has been moved to the archive, which means it may well contain embarrasing stupidity, poor or dated information, or maybe just useless ramblings.

Thanks to this mailing list post I now have a ‘Bash here’ option in my windows explorer context menu for folders and drives. Simply add this registry script to the windows registry.

Thanks to my self and this little script, I can open a ‘windows explorer window here’ from within cygwin.

#! /bin/bash
PWD=`pwd`
PATH=`cygpath -w $PWD`
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/explorer.exe $PATH
