A while ago I learned that since Windows 8, sometimes it uses LaunchTM.exe (which is not even on Wikipedia) to start TaskMgr.exe.
I could find little information about the why, so here are some links with information on when LaunchTM.exe is used (which is confusing) and what command-line parameters TaskMgr.exe can get (also confusing as the order of parameters matter):

I forgot what triggered me querying for [Wayback/Archive] can windows user names contain spaces – Google Search.
Boy I was surprised that the answer is yes.
Following that I was totally not surprised that:

[Wayback/Archive] Lokjo.com – Your worldwide local map
Via [Wayback/Archive] Lokjo – EU’s Gmaps replacement (@Lokjo@mstdn.social) – Mastodon 🐘
Hi! We’re Lokjo, a world wide online map, build in europe.
We support local shops and do things a bit different:
– no data collecting.
– no algorithm.
– no zoomlevel listing, we show all searched locations at once.
– corporate locations are stripped from the search list. Fair is fair.There’s 5 languages, we’re based on OSM, and have lots of useful functions, read the quick FAQ to make the best use of the map.

If you do not want Outlook kinds of clients spamming you, then add this header to your email messages above the Content-Type header (see [Wayback/Archive] The Message Content-Type in MIME)

This is why I do not trust ordering via QR-code: you never know how good (or usually bad, often even non-existent) their security is.
[Wayback/Archive] What’s inside the QR code menu at this cafe? – by peabee is a really bad example about Google backed DotPe: they have zero-auth and by now have rated limited API access by IP address.
…
I went to a cafe near my home. I sat down and scanned the QR code on the table. It took me to a website displaying the cafe’s menu. It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number. I entered the details and placed the order.
In 5 mins my order arrived at the table. There was no OTP verification, and no one came to confirm the order. Is this what the peak ordering experience looks like?
It was a slow workday, and I thought I might as well open this QR code website on my laptop and have a quick look under the hood. Maybe I should’ve just made my own coffee and stayed home because I didn’t realize I was opening a can of worms.
…
This kind of zero-auth is not infrequent: the Panels API and CDN were wide-open too: [Wayback/Archive] https://storage.googleapis.com/panels-api/data/20240916/media-1a-i-p~s

Until then, I mostly used DOSBox for emulation (which I had known after Windows 2000 dropped DOS support), but sometimes DOSBox doesn’t cut it as it emulates DOS (now mainly for gaming), not a full x86 based PC.
The toot pointing me at 86Box was [Wayback/Archive] mr_daemon: “So, 86box has gotten General Modem Emulation… internet over SLiRP…” – untrusted.website (with the image that is on the top right in this blog post)
