$> ln -s

so for example if you want to link to /cygdrive/d/work/project001 do this

$> ln -s /cygdrive/d/work/project001

I use the 'mintty' terminal rather than the default. $> chere -i -t mintty Obviously, the package "mintty" needs to be installed as well! :) Hi,
Nice tip. I use the ‘mintty’ terminal rather than the default.

$> chere -i -t mintty

Obviously, the package “mintty” needs to be installed as well! :)

From cygwin home dir, is there a way to setup a batch file with predefined locations so that I can get to where I need simply by launching that file? something like a .bat file equivalent of windows First up, awesome!!! thanks for that tip.

This fixed the "hive not writable" error for me. Elaborating on what dnorgaard said, you can hold down Ctrl+Shift (Windows 7) while clicking on a program icon in order to run it as an adminstrator.
