Dave, shall we consider using "%COMSPEC% /c" with 0 as second parameter..??
We can certainly try it, though I'm concerned it may break more
systems than it fixes, eg. those where %COMSPEC% has been
intentionally changed because the use wants to use a different shell.

I'd have to agree with Dave here. It was clearly a problem with my batch

file association. I don't know *how* I got into this state, but at least
there's a good log now of how to fix the problem for users that have the
same problem!

I suppose you could detect the problem and issue warning by running a
test echo batch file and *not waiting* on the result, then pausing for a
second, and checking to see if the output file was created. Heck or
check the registry to see if there's a UserChoice key on the .bat
extension.

In any case, I'm satisfied that my computer was messed up and it's now
fixed. And I've got my context menu back!

Thanks,
Eric

That's the most important thing! Thanks for the hard work and
excellent analysis of the problem.
