IIRC, you can write your own batch file. Since you can start PD from a 
DOS prompt (provided you are in the same directory as the binary), you 
should be able to just author a batch file.

 From http://puredata.info/docs/faq/FrontPage#WhatDoIUseOnWindows

"For Windows, .bat file is generally used in the place of a .pdrc. You 
use the same command line options as the .pdrc file, except you start 
the file with pd.exe and all of the options needs to be on that same 
line. Therefore the file will only be one line, though its often a very 
long line. Example:

"c:\pd\bin\pd.exe" -font 10 -path "c:\pd\doc\vasp" -lib cyclone -lib 
iem_t3_lib -lib iem_mp3 -lib mjLib -lib OSC -lib percolate -lib vasp 
-lib xeq -lib xsample -lib zexy -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2 -listdev %1 
%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

For now, to test it, all you need is the executable path, like 
"c:\pd\bin\pd.exe", then -listdev %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 , so you 
can see what devices PD can see, and then look at the options here

MIDI configuration flags:
-midiindev ...   -- midi in device list; e.g., "1,3" for first and third
-midioutdev ...  -- midi out device list, same format
-mididev ...     -- specify -midioutdev and -midiindev together
-nomidiin        -- suppress MIDI input
-nomidiout       -- suppress MIDI output
-nomidi          -- suppress MIDI input and output

Good luck
