I admire your pluck at sorting this out, but to make life simple for
yourself: Why not use explorer go to the dir C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
make a copy of the batch file startxdmcp.bat to a name like Xquery.bat;
Edit the new batch file to your prefrences and then using the RIGHT mouse
button in explorer, drag the new script onto the desktop choosing the
link option?
