How to customize which terminal is used by the "Git Bash Here" command of msysgit's shell extension?

Question

The title says it all. The default cmd.exe is horrible, I'd like to use, say, the "Console" shell.

Answer 1

The registry key used to launch that cmd.exe is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\git_shell\command

It contains (on my Windows7 installation):

"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" /c "pushd "%1" && "C:\Prog\Git\1.6.5.1\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"

So you could change that entry by any other console you want.
