To achieve this use either inetd (and telnet, rsh) or sshd and use 
Cygwin's excellent command line interface. You don't need notepad - vi 
will do much better.

Ah but you say "There are Windows apps that only run in GUI mode and I 
need to run them"? Yes that's a bummer and one of the things that 
Unix/Linux users and admin rail about Windows over and over. Now you 
understand why. Had it been just a Unix/Linux environment this would not 
be a problem nor issue. And X Windows handled the "running a GUI app 
remotely using the window system to display locally" long ago. Sigh. 
When will Windows users learn...

Still you can get a lot (and I mean a lot) of milage out of Cygwin and 
the command line - you just can't everything.
