Window shortcut to launch a Mintty login bash on a given directory

[JOHNER Jean 066030]

Hello,

Putting the following command line in a Windows shortcut opens a login
bash in the /home/User_name directory (~):

C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e bash --login

Now I would like to do the same in the /home/User_name/foobar directory.
I tried:

C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e bash --login -c "cd foobar"

with the result that the Mintty window vanishes.

I also tried to add

C:\cygwin\home\User_name\foobar

in the "Start in" box of the windows shortcut. With no effect.

Thank you for your help.

Jean JOHNER
