"Start.exe" is not available on newer versions of Windows (where Start remains a valid shell command, but it is implemented directly in the command processor, rather than as a separate file). your sujjestion to add "start /belownormal" to the begining of the entries in the run section of the registry disables those lines. Why did you suggest something you never tried yourself?
