There is no path to start, it's a built-in shell cmd. If you want to start it
asynchronously just use start's background method.
os.system("start /B command")
I use this all the time to launch things in the background and continue on my
merry way.

Subject: [python-win32] running windows 'start' cmd using spawnl
Hi,
I need to start a program in a new cmd-window. To do this I need to
execute: start [command]
With os.system this is straight-forward.
But I need to do it with spawnl and P_NOWAIT. I.e, asynchronously.
The problem is that I need to know the path where start resides,
which I'm unable to find.
Does anyone know where this command is located, or an alternative way of
doing what I want?
regards tores
