The purpose of run is to start a Windows program that needs a console to
exist and hide the console window created by windows if there is no
console that the program can attach to (which would otherwise clutter
the taskbar even when minimized).

What are you actually trying to do? Starting mintty from a Windows
shortcut doesn't produce a console window to start with and you can just
tell mintty what program you intend to run inside it.
