Run an interactive EXE with system

This works for XP, W2K, W23:

sc create testsvc binpath= "cmd /K start" type= own type= interact

If this command succeeds, just start the service.

Excel mod

For me, in Excel 2007, spreadsheets always open in the same "master" Excel window.  If I want to view two spreadsheets concurrently I have to use the internal Excel windows manager and my view is limited to the size of the "master/Primary" window.

Jarrah of "Jarrah's Blog Pile" has a great solution/mod for this issue.  Follow his instructions and you can launch multiple instances of excel, each with only one spreadsheet.
