You can use the Windows 'start' command to fire up a copy of bash in a
new window.  At the bash (or DOS) prompt, just invoke:

  $ start bash

If you have used Explorer (File Manager) on Win95 to create a .PIF
file for starting bash with a particular set of options from an icon,
you can invoke that from the command line as well:

  $ start bash.pif

Enjoy.
