This is how I use rxvt:
F:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg white -sr -sl 6000 -fn "courier new" -e
/bin/bash --login -i
To summarise:
'-bg': Set's the background colour
'-fg': Set's the foreground colour
'-sr': Put's the scrollbar on the right side of the window
'-sl': Set's the scroll buffer to X lines
'-fn': Change's the font that rxvt uses
`man rxvt' will you give you everything else you need to know.
