Public summary
On Windows, Shell.Start and Shell.Execute can fail when a command contains quoted paths or arguments, including filenames containing commas. Correctly quoted command text should reach the Windows command interpreter intact, and existing pipes, redirects, built-in commands and output capture should continue to work.
