I'd suggest you use http://defaultprogramseditor.com/ to either change
existing "Open" action for .txt files or to create a new one.
Start the app and go to the context menu settings for .txt files. For
the "Program path", use something similar to
    C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe" --exec C:\cygwin64\bin\vim  "%1"

Pro tip: if you intend to use network shares by IP address, e.g.
"\\192.168.0.2\share\mytxtfile.txt", set the environment variable
CYGWIN to include "noglob". Otherwise Cygwin's file name globbing
breaks your path argument.
