Winmdows 7 & "launch app.exe"

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Klaus,

I often have the same problem with other versions of Windows. It is  
not limited to Windows 7. Quite some time ago, I decided not to bother  
anymore and to use the shell whenever I have to launch an application  
or file.

Are you sure that this hasn't been reported yet?
