Opps thought from your previous message you already knew or i would have
said.
the easiest way is the "at" trick, from a command line,type 
"at \\yourcomputername 15:49 /interactive cmd.exe"
this will give you a cmd shell running as SYSTEM. from there cd to your
cygwin\bin directory and type "bash --login -i" which will give you a bash
shell running as SYSTEM.
