Hi,
Is there something wrong with this patch? http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-July/028367.html
It could probably be fixed by creating a fake notepad.exe in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\system32 instead of duplicating some of the work of CreateProcess.
A fake notepad.exe is currently created in c:\windows\system32. I don't think there's duplication of CreateProcess because CreateProcess considers the filename of the executable to be the first quoted term in the commandline. In contrast, cmd.exe also considers the first space-separated word of that quoted string as the filename of the executable when the entire quoted term is not an executable.
