Yep, as long as things can execute independently, then you don't need to specify cmd /c. One example of where you'd need to use cmd /c is if you're calling the "start" command directly (outside of a batch file). You can't call "start" from a task sequence Run Command Line step, because "start" is not a stand-alone command. It's a function that is interpreted exclusively by cmd.exe.

Slightly different reason then: a cmd will automatically execute in the command-shell because of its file association and thus still no need to specify cmd /c.
