It's not really clear what you want? Make a script executable?
Executable in Windows?

You should put Cygwin into ProgramFiles. It's an environment, not an
application. If you just want to run a shell script, then specify the
interpreter. Cygwin.bat starts a interactive session.
C:\cygwin\bash.exe myScriptToExecute.sh
