What are the contents of your shortcut?

I point to this batch file:
<batch>
@echo off
C:
cd \cygwin\bin
rxvt.exe -bg white -fg black -fn "Lucida Console-12" -ls -sl 9000 -rv
-geometry 110x49 -sb -si -sk -sr -sw -e bash --login -i
</batch>

Which works fine.  I briefly see a command window and then the RXVT term
comes up and the command window disappears.
