Problem

I have installed Emacs which comes with Cygwin. How can I get Cygwin to run Emacs in its own window instead from the Cygwin's console window. I like how, in Ubuntu, when I run Emacs from the terminal, it will open Emacs's GUI.

Low Risk

Need to have an X-server running and install the x-version of emacs, cygwin includes both (if you select the correct packages during installation). The X-server is probably started with the command once it's installed.
