In autoexec.bat include the line

  set shell=/usr/bash

or wherever you may have bash.exe.
Reboot and you can skip "-e bash" on the command line.

By including lines like this in autoexec.bat you can change a host of 
bash settings. For instance, the following line gets you a more 
instructive prompt.

  set PS1=\n\w\n\t\040

Good luck,
