Don't remember, but here's my version, you should remove the 'x'

Use something like this as your target for an XEmacs shortcut target

  \C64\bin\run2.exe /usr/local/bin/cygxemacs.xml

And the following in cygxemacs.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">
  <SelfOptions />
  <Global>
    <Environment/>
    <Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">
      <Arg>-l -c /usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.5-b35</Arg>
    </Target>
  </Global>
</Run2Config>
