Re: [Newbie] Opening Files in a Folder

Wrap your lines.

It seems you already know the name of the folder containing the
images, so it's rather trivial:

cygstart $USERPROFILE/Desktop/images/*.jpg

If the images are in sub folders you could use zsh or find:

cygstart $USERPROFILE/Desktop/images/**/*.jpg
