This is way too cool if it worked, but unfortunatly, I get an Error: Current working directory is a virtual Cygwin directory which does not exist for a native Windows application. Can't start native Windows application from here. if I try this.

@RenéNyffenegger Bad to hear that, it doesn't work in your Cygwin installation. I have verified this once again - here is my commands and the output: $ find . -name "*mp3*" ./SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Multimedia/WMPlayer/Extensions/.mp3 ./SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Multimedia/WMPlayer/MIME Types/audio%2Fmp3 ./SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Multimedia/WMPlayer/MIME Types/audio%2Fx-mp3 ... My Cygwin version is quite new: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1 PL00039406 2.0.2(0.287/5/3) 2015-05-08 17:00 x86_64 Cygwin

@RenéNyffenegger I've got the suspicion that when you run your 'find' command, then Windows version of find utility is executed. In my case find utility from Cygwin installation in executed.
