Yes there is.

Install the Cygwin 'run' package (if not installed already). Use the
Windows Task Scheduler interface to schedule the following command line
for execution:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe bash -wait --login -c "/myfolder/myscript.sh"

That's it. Your bash script should run in a "hidden" console window at
the scheduled times.

What's really nice is that with 'run', you don't need to have a separate
.bat file. Oh, and I guess you won't need cron.
