If you run emacs under X windows, it will open its own window. 
Otherwise, it will run in whatever window you started it in.  But you 
can always open a new terminal window before running emacs.

By the way, emacs will work much better if you run it from a mintty 
terminal or rxvt terminal rather than the window you get by clicking on 
the cygwin icon.  If you don't know what this means, just install the 
mintty and/or rxvt package, and you'll get start menu shortcuts for them.
