Try this: Needs the "K"-switch to work properly (on win2k anyway...)

<?php
    print("Hello world!<BR>\n");
    $cmd = "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe /K \"dir C:\\\""; 
    /* for test, want to use c:\\test\\test.exe, but gets the same errors 
*/
    $hmm = system( $cmd );
?>

ps. I escaped the DIR C: => "DIR C:\" as well (\"DIR C:\\\"), even though 
it works without.
