Try this.  Open Explorer, click View->Options, or Tools->Folder Options in W2k,
click File Types,
locate the item that says Folder,
click Edit, or if using W2k, click Advanced
click New,

In the Action field, put in 'Bash here'
In the Application field, put in
bash -c 'cd "%1"; exec bash'

Click Ok.

That ought to do it hopefully.
