What's the returned value? (If it's between 0-32, that indicates
failure.)

That was the Bad Old Days. <g> Nowadays, it's easy to determine:

C:\>set pathext
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

I have tried adding quotes...no change in result.

As far as the returned process ID...it is different each time I run
(of coarse) but is alway similar to 4420 which is the value returned
from my most recent attempt.

Where can I find this app Process Explorer? Is it a MS app which
would have been installed with Windows (like Task Manager) or is it
some third party app. If it is the later where do I get it from. If
it is the former where is the exe for the app located.

Thanks,
Steve
