I followed this thread with some interest.
A little research exposed the following:
Start-->Run-->Cmd
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\root>cd\
(The following calls IE while CMD.EXE remains active.)
C:\>"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"
(The following forks another CMD task with the full IE path in the
header,
IE does not run.)
C:\>start "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"
(The following calls IE )
C:\>C:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
(The following forks IE)
C:\> start C:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
The results would seem to be consistent with your K95
experience, but in my case K95 is not running at all.
If it were me I'd focus my anomoly research on start.
