cygwin shortcut question

[Christopher Layne]

Just noticed something about the shortcut and use of c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin.bat.

The contents thereof:

--
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i
--

Now when running this you almost always end up with a cmd.exe also running.

I just changed my shortcut to instead be:

Target:   c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i
Start in: c:\cygwin\bin

Absolutely no issues running this without calling any batch file, is there
any reason this isn't the default?

-cl
