Just type "start" and press return.

Just type "cygstart /bin/bash" and press return.
There is no facility in either case to select a cwd for the process to start
in, they will start in your bash shell's cwd. You can always write yourself a
little shell function, e.g.
function CMDWNDW {
( cd $1 && start )
}
