It's reaching back pretty far, but AFAIK, start is intended to have a
non-executable file name for the argument. It examines the registry to
see which application is registered to execute that type of program
based on the file name extension, and than calls the registered program,
passing it's argument to the executable. The end result is that 'start
notepad.exe' fails because there is no program registered to manipulate
.exe files. Assuming that notepad.exe is the default program for
manipulating .txt files, "start something.txt" would execute the command
"notepad.exe something.txt".
