My suggestion was not an exact recipe, it was just a scheme.
Here the exact step-by-step procedure. I've checked it works on my Windows 7
box.
From the Windows "Start" menu, in the Search box at the bottom
(formerly called "Run") enter (substitute<YourUserName> with whatever
ID you are going by on that Windows system):
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In the opened Explorer window, right click on unoccupied space on the right hand
pane, select "New"->"Shortcut".
As prompted for "Location", enter (I assume your Cygwin installation is
at C:\cygwin):
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l /bin/vim.sh
click "Next", when prompted for the name, enter "Vim",
close the dialog with "Finish".
In Cygwin's window:
cd /bin
cat<<EOF
#! /bin/sh
exec vim -- "`cygpath -u $1`"
EOF
chmod a+x vim.sh
Now you can check whether it work by going to C:\cygwin\ in Windows
Explorer, right-clicking Cygwin.bat, and using "Send To" with "Vim".

Now working correctly except that it requires an administrative password
to run mintty. The message looks like the one you get when installing
new software.
I think permissions on vim.sh are OK:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cdr None 36 Feb 9 22:22 vim.sh*
