I use that.

I also still use Explorer. I have some powertools/wintoys set up so that

 I can click on any folder in explorer and pull up a dos window that is 
initialized in that directory.  When I type "bash" and get bash in these
dos windows it is also initialized in that directory.  I would like to 
sharpen this convenience further by not having to type "bash" in such 
situations
