It's not really clear what you want? Make a script executable? 
Executable in Windows?

You should put Cygwin into ProgramFiles. It's an environment, not an 
application. If you just want to run a shell script, then specify the 
interpreter. Cygwin.bat starts a interactive session.

C:\cygwin\bash.exe myScriptToExecute.sh
