Hi,
After performing a standard (default) install using setup-x86.exe,
there are no shortcuts in the start menu or desktop. I don't really
mind but don't know how to initiate cygwin without it.
Its a work pc, which means I have little control over the system, and
it has been meddled with quite a bit. Running XP. It quite common
for this to happen on installing software, and I usually just make a
desktop shortcut. Must be unusual for others because I can't find any
reference to it in the archives.
Can you please tell me how to run cygwin without the shortcut?
Thanks
Hi,
target of my shortcut is
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -
It is shortcut made by cygwins setup on windows xp.
