Well, that's easily done without a testcase as it is documented by MS:

Note The name of the executable in the command line that the operating system provides to a process is not necessarily identical to that in the command line that the calling process gives to the CreateProcess function.
The operating system may prepend a fully qualified path to an executable name that is provided without a fully qualified path.
