?? That's how Windows Cmd.exe works. If rxvt does something different 
then it does some magic and it would definitely irritating to me if cmd 
would /not/ keep a Window open until mintty is closed. If you want the 
"old" behaviour of the command.com/Windows 9X environment, you have to 
use "start".

Not just for the shortcut. Windows has a GUI setting for user and system 
variables (which is quite lenthy to access).
