I did not actually write that part, nor most of this code. Mainly what I 
did was to combine the existing routines. The only problem I was trying 
to solve was that ShellExecuteEx ignored parameters from the registry. 
Originally I had written a routine for handling the parameters. It was 
suggested to me that much of that already existed. I had not noticed 
that because the two shell execute routines were in two different source 
files.

I guess I am not sure what the problem is with WinExec. Originally 
ShellExecuteEx used CreateProcessA and ShellExecute used WinExec, which 
simply calls CreateProcessA. I could certainly directly call 
CreateProcessA if that is preferable.
