[ros-kernel] a couple of cmd.exe fixes - commit-help?

[Jens Collin]

Very good idea indeed! I have't even thought of it in windows from
commandline before, just never felt the need I guess.
I've implemented this and commited it just now. My first personal commit
btw :) Woohoo :)
The function works in windows but not on ros because there is something
wrong with ShellExecute itself. I haven't dug too deep on that yet. I'll
check into this one later.

I've taken unicode into considerations but this is a weak area for me so
if someone has a couple of minutes over, could you check it out for me?
(reactos\subsys\system\cmd\cmd.c in Runfile()) I'm not sure if I'm to
prototype the method or if one should use a predifined prototype
somewhere global or something. Thanks.

Regards,
Jens Collin

If you type e.g. "example.xls" as a command in win2k cmd.exe, it will
startup Excel for you. I believe this is done by calling ShellExecute().
