   Small aside... Minus the suffix, path in order of search   
   is (if i recall correctly):   
      
   1. an associated 'opener' if any (can be defined by associating   
      suffix .foo with notepad.exe or whatever, also inherits the   
      calling app's icon)   
      
   2. in memory 'alias' via script/batch (set var=foo)   
      
   3. current folder   
      
   4. system path   
      
   but... this also depends on %COMSPEC% ($SHELL in Windows) typically:   
      
   powershell.exe   
   cmd.exe   
   command.exe   
   user defined (like perl.exe for .pl or "busybox sh" for .sh)
