Stop XWin.exe? =-O

Just out of curiosity, why are you running a heavy process like X just 
to run an xterm? Why not instead use something like Cygwin's rxvt (not 
normally installed by default) which is a lot like xterm but does not 
require a heavy X server to run?

I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.
