The simplest way is to create a new shortcut (using NT Explorer or
whatever), and make it run `sh myscript.sh'.
(I haven't tried this, but I can't think why it wouldn't work unless
your default path doesn't include sh's location, in which case you
just need to specify a full path of sh, in DOS notation of course.)
