Unfortunately I need to know if it's a console app or not, and hence call
FindExecutable followed by SHGetFileInfo. These don't seem to report
anything on the internal programs so I couldn't tell whether to wait for it
to complete (eg xcopy) or let it run (eg notepad). 

I'm patching it to assume worse case (run it synchronous) and just wait,
unless you have any other suggestions, working on the theory this is a very
rare case.
