RE: 1.7.7: Open BASH Shell Here goes to wrong location

["Roe, Kevin L." <roe2 at llnl dot gov>]

I have determined that modifying the registry entry to:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bashrxvt]
@="&Open BASH Shell Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bashrxvt\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe \"%L\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\bashrxvt]
@="&Open BASH Shell Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\bashrxvt\command]
@="C:\\cygwin\\bin\\mintty.exe - e /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe \"%L\""


...fixes the problem.  But this is lame.

I know Windows explorer is supposed to pass the location to minty, so why do I need to jump through these hoops?

Does anybody have any understanding of what is going on?
