Build 20020521

It would be nice if you could specify a simple command name, e.g. "notepad"
without having to choose the exact location of the command, or specify its 
suffix.

See bug 17324 which triggered this.

Chris points out that Start/Run uses special registry entries.
E.g. wordpad works in Start/Run but is not in the system path.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
