Do not start with a bash process. If you try starting things with

        Start -> Run -> c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash

that will start a rxvt terminal which reads ~/.bashrc. If you try

        Start -> Run -> c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i

that will start a rxvt terminal which reads /etc/profile then
~/.bash_profile.

After "rxvt" but before "-e" insert switches for rxvt if you want them,
like -bg blue -fg yellow and that sort of thing.

All this assumes you are not running XWin. If you have previously set
DISPLAY and have started XWin using start XWin -multiwindow, then you can
start a rxvt session as above prefixed with the command "run ".
