Hi all,
Sometimes when using cygwin shell (bash), I want to open up a windows explorer
window or command prompt from that location. However, when I do that, the
process launches with the environment inherited from the cygwin shell.
For a variety of reasons, this causes issues.
Is there someway to launch processes from the cygwin shell without bringing in
the cygwin environment?
For example:
-PATH=A,B,C,D
-Launch cygwin. PATH=CYGPATHS,A,B,C,D
-Launch explorer.exe PATH=A,B,C,D. (this is what I want)
Right now, when I launch explorer, it uses PATH=CYGPATHS,A,B,C,D.
I hope this question is clear.
