That's all more complicated than it needs to be. Just make windows 
shortcuts to c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe, where "Start in:" is set to 
c:\cygwin\bin, and modify "Target:" to contain "C:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe 
username AT hostname" (without the quotes of course).

Better yet, install mintty if you don't already have it, and set the 
shortcuts' target to: "C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/ssh 
username AT hostname"

(Mintty is a much better term window than cmd.)
