Running cmd from address bar is buggy.

You might know that you can run a program listed in the %path% in a certain dir by tiping its name in the address bar in a certain folder.
But running the cmd in this way seems to be buggy.

Examples:

Code: Select all

set /p=
The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2371 in the message file for Application.


Code: Select all

pause
DNS name does not exist.


Code: Select all

echo ^
The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2352 in the message file for Application.



and so on.
Could be interesning for some one who think can reveal more info about the internal cmd commands by these debug messages.
To me looks like it can find the resource files where messages are stored because of the cmd was started - probably it searches for them in the local directory because it runs without errors when started in this way from system32. (probably the same result can be achieved if cmd.exe is copied in another directory)

I put your examples in a batch file and did not get the same results running it from address bar on Windows 7 Pro. It executed like a normal batch file.
