Right click->edit on the Cygwin.bat file (i.e. the icon you use to start 
Cygwin).  It's just a simple CMD batch file that calls bash.exe.  Make a 
copy of it and instead of 'bash.exe --login', make it 'bash.exe 
scriptname.sh'. 

Double click the new batch file, and it should do the right thing. 

N.B. I'm trying to recall this all from a fuzzy memory of doing the same 
thing about 5 or 6 years ago, so all the details may not be exactly right, 
but this is a basic process that will work.  You might have to google up 
some error messages or additional tips to get it all working. 

Good luck.
