Re: Bash shell extension ?

["Adam" <cygwin at tranceambient dot com>]

In case you need to know, this is what my registry currently looks like this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bash]
@="Bash Prompt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bash\command]
@="bash.exe -c 'cd \"%1\"; exec /bin/bash.exe'"

Using this it works fine, with the exception of grossly truncating the long
folder names .. If this could be fixed, I would be very happy .. :)

P.S. The changes that I made as per your suggestion, I did through the registry
directly (not via a .reg file) .. If this possible caused some problems, let me
know .. Perhaps you could copy & paste the exact key that is in your registry
to the mailing list?
