Hmm... This isn't a FAQ yet?!
I've explained many times how to do this.
1) Create a noop program named #!.exe
2) Install the it in C:/cygwin/bin and C:/windows/system32/
3) Add `#! c:/windows/system32/cmd /c' to the .bat file as the first
line.
Earnie.
P.S.:
cat << EOD > noop.c
int main (void) {return 0;}
EOD
gcc -o \#\!.exe noop.c
