for many years, we have some CL programs that will run the STRPCO and
STRPCCMD's to start a browser app.

we had prefixed our url's with the windows commands:
rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler

(rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
https://xyz.domainname.com/appname/landingpage)

I now see some examples using the windows start command:

START " " "https://xyz.domainname.com/appname/landingpage";

this appears to work fine, but can anybody who does this comment on any
problems or benefits of using START vs. rundll32 url.dll ?
