That's correct.  And before you waste too much time on this, you should 
make sure that you have the latest cygutils package installed.  The 
behavior of cygstart with respect to file:// URLs changed starting with 
cygutils-1.4.10-1.  See

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2012-04/msg00021.html

and
