Sorry Frantisek et al,
Mea culpa. You are correct. I was not using a .profile at all, thanks for 
pointing out the problem. I have rearranged things and retested with a 
.profile. I placed
alias profilels1='ls -s'
export PROFILE2=ProfileVariable2
export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Temp:$PATH
in my .profile in my home directory. My OpenWith.reg file now contains:
===================== File:OpenWith.reg CUT HERE =======================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\JddCustom_OpenWithCommandPrompt]

====================== File: OpenWith.reg END CUT HERE=========================
I make the first invocation of bash avoid executing any scripts, then make 
the second exec invocation run the scripts instead. I don't get any 
double execution, the PATH variable doesn't get /cygdrive/c/Temp added to 
it twice, and I get the variables and aliases from both .profile and 
.bashrc. Notice the new EXPLORERDIR variable. The many quotes are needed 
for directory names with spaces! I had to add these lines at the very 
bottom of the global /etc/profile file to get it to change to the directory 
desired though:
if [ "$EXPLORERDIR" ]; then
 cd "$EXPLORERDIR"
