Are you trolling?

$ man bash

SYNOPSIS
        bash [options] [file]

...

ARGUMENTS
        If arguments remain after option processing, and neither the -c
        nor the -s  option  has  been supplied, the first argument is
        assumed to be the name of a file containing shell commands.



In other words, bash behaves exactly as I said originally, and Windows 
Explorer isn't wrong to call Bash with just the name of a script, when 
you tell it that all *.sh open with bash.exe.
