Make that 'cygstart "$(/bin/ls -t | head -1)"' (add quotes, otherwise filenames with spaces will not work).

Slightly improved to ignore directories (and assuming that Windows files always have an extension) cygstart "$(/bin/ls -t *.* | head -1)"

You're making an invalid assumption that directories do not have extensions. They can!

The following works:

cygstart $(ll -t | grep -v "^d" | head -2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}')
