How to run sh.exe without a console window

I want to be able to run sh.exe from a dos environment (like
Start->Run or the File Explorer) and not have it pop up a console
window.

For example, if I were to type this in the Start->Run window:

        c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c "c:/windows/notepad.exe"

I would see two windows--one for sh.exe and other for notepad.  (I'm
just using notepad as an example).

I want to be able to run sh.exe without the DOS console window showing
up.  Is there a way to do that?
