| Hmm...  This isn't a FAQ yet?!
| 
| I've explained many times how to do this. 
| 
| 1) Create a noop program named #!.exe
| 2) Install the it in C:/cygwin/bin and C:/windows/system32/
| 3) Add `#! c:/windows/system32/cmd /c' to the .bat file as the first
| line.

| Earnie.
| 
| P.S.:
| 
| cat << EOD > noop.c
| int main (void) {return 0;}
| EOD
| gcc -o \#\!.exe noop.c
