The approach Ben described should work, but you might want to instead 
associate a file extension specifically with Bash. This is commonly done 
for installations of Perl on Windows, where the .pl extension is used to 
invoke the Perl interpreter on the file. 

So if you choose to use say .sh, create a file with that extension, then 
via the file explorer or directly through the registry, set up an 
affiliation to bash.exe.
