drag and drop folder from Explorer to cygwin

[Richard Trevor <rptrevor at yahoo dot com>]

Hello,

I've seen hints of this on the web, but no full explanation.

I'd like to drag a folder from Windows Explorer (XP) and drop it on the cygwin desktop shortcut,
causing a cygwin (bash) shell to open in the folder directory.

This seems to work fine on one of my XP/cygwin computers. On two other installations, the cygwin
(bash) shell opens, but in the home directory, not the folder directory. I see the same behavior
dragging folders to a Command Prompt shortcut.

I'm aware of chere (the Bash Shell Here context menu item). I'd just like to have this drag and
drop technique working as well.

Thanks,

R. Trevor
