What works for me is to create a text file (script) with a .sh
extension.  Make something simple like:
echo 123
sleep 10

Then double-click on it, and windows will ask what program to open the
.sh extension.  Select "choose another program" and browse to
c:\cygwin\bash.exe.

That's always worked for me, with no need for doing any "login shell" stuff.
