Ref:  Append to WINDOWS USENET (ARCHER) at 04:18:18 on 91/01/15

I like your idea... but to avoid eating 4K of space for a semaphore
file (or whatever your cluster size is) use:

rem > c:\win-run.now

Instead of :
echo " " > c:\win-run.now

Also, change the echo to tell the user to press ALT-ESC or
CTL-ESC to return to windows (or Task list).
