Environment
------------
- Windows 7 Professional 64 bits
- mSysGit 1.7.7
- logged in as Administrator
- UAC turned full-ON


Just completed a clean install of the new mSysGit 1.7.7.

Now, when I right-click on a folder and choose Git Bash Here from the
explorer menu, I got the following error dialog:

---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script: C:\Git\Git Bash.vbs
Line: 13
Char: 1
Error: Unable to save shortcut "C:\Windows\Git Bash.lnk".
Code: 80070005
Source: WshShortcut.Save

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Right-clicking on the same folder and choosing Git GUI Here from the
explorer menu instead works like a charm.

Thank you for reporting this. A fix has just been pushed to the
development branch:
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/commit/d6b68655a5f2cd1b36c304a8e63564a8f1ee064e
and you can fix your local copy by editing the "Git Bash.vbs" script
and adding the line:
Const TemporaryFolder = 2
near the top.

***SOLVED!***

Just added the following line to the top of C:\Git\Git Bash.vbs:

Const TemporaryFolder = 2

as suggested by Pat Thoyts.
