Something like this should do it:

1. add in cygwin.bat (or a copy of it),  before bash command:
set __TYTLE__=%~1

2. in your .bash_profile add:
if [ "$__TYTLE__" ]; then
  PS1="\[\033]0;\$__TYTLE__\007"'
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ '
fi

3. Create o shortcut with something like this in the target box:
C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat  "Your Title"


If I understood you right, this should solve you problem.
