Re: Open Windows Explorer from Cygwin prompt

Cygstart is not needed in this case. Explorer can be launched directly.
This works from cmd.exe and from any cygwin shell:

explorer .

You are right, this is equivalent in this specific case. But cygstart can also open Cygwin-style directories, explorer can't:

cygstart ~
cygstart /etc
cygstart dir1/dir2
