   Instead of starting narrator.exe by the above hotkey it   
   should be possible to start it in the batch by:   
      
   %windir%\system32\narrator.exe   
      
   But this doesn't work here. I just get "file not found".   
   Windows Explorer shows the file at this location and   
   you can start it, but 'dir' in a cmd file doesn't   
   show it, so it also can't be started from the batch.   
   Seems to be an other fake from explorer.
