This executes faster than
cygstart.exe
I put this in a script and added it to my path:
cat `which explore.sh`
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
explorer.exe $( cygpath `pwd` -w ) &
else
explorer.exe $( cygpath $1 -w ) &
fi;
Using the script you just type
explore.sh file_or_executable
Note: you can do this for any file that has an associated executable in the windows registry. This is quite handy if you want to open pictures or movies from xterm.
