Other command processors should work too. I name all of my bash scripts with a .sh extension, althought not necessary from Cygwin's point of view, it allows me to associate .sh files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash in Windows. I then customize the icon for this association with the Cygwin icon, and these files then show up with this icon in Explorer and I can simply double click to run.
