Check your association. I use the same technique (on W98) and this my
.sh association: bourne shell script file
     (C:\CYGWIN\BIN\BASH.EXE -ex %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9)

The exact Registry values are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\.sh]
@="sh_file"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\sh_file]
@="bourne shell script file"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\sh_file\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\sh_file\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\sh_file\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\CYGWIN\\BIN\\BASH.EXE -ex %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

I hope it helps you,

Ehud.
