Umm, why not simply use the script below?  BTW, you don't need to put
explorer in the background - detaches from the tty itself.  Also, don't
forget that there *are* command-line arguments for explorer, which you
might want to pass through...

#!/bin/sh
# wexp
# description : Launch Explorer with correct "Windows" path
explorer "$(cygpath -w "${1:-.}")"
