Did you try "start foo.inf"? AFAIK, it should do what you want. I'm
almost sure that if you ``run'' that file from the "Start|Run" dialog, it
does its thing, and "start foo.inf" should do exactly the same.

Read the comments in the sources of _rename. It's all explained there.
(Of course, the reasons why Windows 95 behaves this way are anybody's
guess, but given that 98 doesn't do that anymore, I think we can safely
say that this is a bug that even Microsoft admits.)
