Here's what I did:
1. Create an Icon for bash.exe.
2. Double click on it.

To help things along, I also had the following:
1. In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
  IF EXIST D:\USR\BIN\DJGPPVAR.BAT CALL D:\USR\BIN\DJGPPVAR.BAT
2. In DJGPPVAR.BAT:
  PATH %PATH%;D:\USR\BIN;D:\USR\GNU\EMACS\BIN
  SET DJGPP=D:\USR\DJGPP.ENV
  SET SYSROOT=D:
  SET HOME=D:\HOME\WEIQI
3. In D:\HOME\WEIQI\.bashrc (that's dot-b-a-s-h-r-c):
  alias ls="ls --color=auto -F"
  alias d="d --color=auto -F"
  alias v="v --color=auto -F"
  alias rm="rm -i"
  alias mv="mv -i"
  alias cp="cp -i"
  alias vim="vim -T win32"
  alias find="/usr/bin/find.exe"
  alias sort="/usr/bin/sort.exe"
  PS1="\u: \w \#\$ "
  TERM=win32-win
  export PS1 TERM
  eval `dircolor`
