THe poster specifically didn't want to use VNC, and using Remote Desktop or similar is really out of the scope of Cygwin. All cygwin and ssh know or care about is transporting a stream of bytes over the network. Alternatively put, those methods all work equally well independently of ssh (ignoring the security issues) so it's really not fair to say that ssh is contributing at all to those solutions... The poster was asking "Make ssh do FOO" but the answer is "ssh can't do FOO, but BAR can do FOO (optionially with ssh as the transport.)"

This will only pop up notepad (or any other windowed application) on the *server's* desktop. What the OP wants is forwarding of individual graphical apps over ssh, and this can't be done with Windows apps. Perhaps a remote desktop solution of some sort will work.

This will not work unless the application is an X Windows program. Native windows apps cannot be used remotely with ssh, because they are not network-aware. This may be possible with remote desktop/terminal server/etc, but it's outside the scope of Cygwin. All that ssh can do is forward a stream of bytes across the connection. The application must be designed to work in this manner, such as X11 apps. Ssh cannot work miracles.
