A little clunky, but it works well. I make a "bin" directory in my windows home directory with visual basic scripts in it to launch things from Windows shortcuts. The "xterm.vbs" script from my "bin" directory:

  args = "-c" & " -l " & """export DISPLAY=:0.0;xterm -fn 10x20 -bg black -fg green"""
  WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "bash", args, "", "open", 0

I do that too... main issue is scaling. I need one for the laptops screen and another fit the monitor... different scaling (200% vs 100%)
