You should be able to eliminate the need for creating a batch
file if you create a Windows shortcut to 'rxvt'.  Once you have
created the shortcut, you can edit its properties and change
the Target field to use what you have above, that is:

     C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-11" -e /bin/bash --login -i

Of course, this shortcut may then be "dragged" to your Windows
taskbar or desktop so that you can start rxvt with a mouse-click.

Here are some fonts that I have been able to use in Windows:

~/.Xdefaults:
------------
   rxvt*font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-18-96-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1

   rxvt*font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-20-96-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1

   rxvt*font: -raster-Fixedsys-normal-r-normal-normal-18-108-120-120-c-100-iso8859-1

Of course, these fonts are mutually exclusive (that is, try each
one and decide which one you like).  These can be resized with
the Shift-Keypad +/- keys.

I have also found that under some circumstances, the backspace
key does not work properly.  The following setting fixed that
problem:

   rxvt*ttyModes: erase ^?

Finally, the default size and location can be set in ~/.Xdefaults:

   rxvt*geometry: 80x35+150+5
