I've come across a couple more 'quirks' as I've been using it.
The filename cannot have spaces - had to replace them with underscores '_'I had one path that had an ampersand '&' in it - it couldn't open the file.These may just be typical characteristics of using DOS commands, I don't know much about that.
I have a .bat file that executes the following when I want to play Dota on dota-league:
In the folder "C:\Program Files\Games\Warcraft III\DGN" I have the DotaClient and in the folder under it "C:\Program Files\Games\Warcraft III" I have Frozen Throne and an inventory add-on. With the command "cd.." (without "") I can go one folder down in dos and it also works when coding.
My point here is, that in most cases you don't (but to be sure you usually can) need to add start in front of the application you're executing and especially if the application has two words cut the start and just add "program name .exe" and it will execute it.

Hope this helps.
