Weird... meh, prolly some weird setting in the XP VM, or something...
Ahh, here it is:
Code:
SHELL "start notepad.exe"
Does not work under XP, it's the code I tested... Try it..

In W2000 it works if you remove START.
That's 'cause in the DOSVM which is started from then console when you run a MSDOS program, the START service is not present. It's like if you were in pure MSDOS. That's why long filenames are not returned as well, for example.
Now I know why my LFN directory browser returns LFN in W98 and 8.3 in W2000 /XP....
But some level of shell calls should work even in XP. A Dir Browser contest is possible...
If you want LFNs in XP you can use int 21...
