Thanks, I should mention, I did try disabling my .bashrc file and 
actually my entire user directory... still didn't work.

Also, mintty tells me neither of those options are valid? These are the 
options it tells me are available: https://i.imgur.com/vyMG9t6.png

Also, just a correction to my original email, the shortcut was 
actually:`...mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`

The shortcut I previously stated was something I had done as a 
troubleshooting step and then pasted it into the email by mistake.
