BTW, with this implementation,
    start notepad
works, and
    start wordpad
will probably work if you have the right registry entry (attached), but
    start foo.txt
probably won't... I'll try it out, and maybe improve ShellExecute if
needed.

Also, start takes a number of switches; I'll try to implement them soon.
