Leave it in /usr/X11R6/bin. Then, create a shortcut to that batch file with Windows Explorer (note: you can then change the icon for the shortcut and point it to the icon in XWin.exe). Then, copy and paste that shortcut on your desktop. Everything will work fine. This is the method that I always use.
