FWIW, I use the "Send To" menu with the following shortcut for vi:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/rxvt.exe -display :0 -T vim -vb -sr -sl 10000 -bg black -cr white -fg LightSteelBlue1 -j -fn "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-14-14-m-0-iso8859-2" -e /usr/bin/vim

(I used to have more args there, but run now has a 20-argument limit --
sigh!).
