It is not necessary to create a batch file.  Simply right-click on
the 'rxvt' binary in Windows Explorer, and then select 'Create
Shortcut'.
Once you have created a shortcut to 'rxvt', you can then right-click
on it, select 'Properties' from the menu, and enter the above
information
from the batch file into the 'Target' field.  Note that you can only do
this for the shortcut -- you cannot modify the 'Target' field of the
'rxvt'
binary.  The shortcut may then be dragged and dropped to your Quick
Launch
toolbar, your desktop, etc.

Also, you may create a '.Xdefaults' text file in your home directory.
The
Cygwin 'rxvt' will read this initialization file, just as it would in
UNIX/Linux.
It can be used to set long font names, geometry, colors, etc.  See the
'rxvt'
manual page for details.  See also
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-20050409.README,
or whatever the appropriate README number is reported by 'cycheck -l
rxvt'.
