I get...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:

so I type my password (which works if I use PuTTY on the same machines)
and get...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
again.

Startxwin.bat shouldn't ask for a password.  It should just start X in
multi-window mode.  You won't see anything onscreen except an X icon in the
System Tray.

The only time you need to put in a password is when you authenticate your
ssh session to the Linux box.  This can be avoided by setting up a public
and a private key and using Pagent.  I have it working here now.
