http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development-2-2/one-click-root-and-unroot-for-froyo-intercept-for-windows-(updated)/ This uses ADB, rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin exploit and su binary, and Busybox App.
Please read the above thread completely to understand and get answers for any questions that you have.
Easy Instructions:
Download the zip file to C:\ on your Windows PC
Unzip the file using Winzip or similar tool (Search on Google for Winzip downlaod)
It will extract in folder - InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2
Using Windows Explorer open C:\InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2 folder.
Do not click or double click on any of the .bat files yet.
Open all .sh files (one at a time in notepad ) and replace /dev/block/stl9 with /dev/block/stl5 and save .sh files. This is needed because to correct the mount path in Samsung Intercept is /dev/block/stl5 for /system.

kuroyama referrred to the following when he developed his scripts:
Sprint Intercept w/Froyo permanent root using epic expoit:)
This method was the only one that worked from me. I've got the Samsung Intercept on Virgin Mobile running Froyo. I probably tried 6 other rooting methods but this was the only one that worked. Also I had to reset my phone before it would work.
Don't forget to get the intercept drivers for this to work. :)
