    We've already covered that.

    You've already been told that has nothing to do with Windows (the same would apply on other OSes).

    You've already been told how to avoid launching a shell. If you don't want to launch the shell, don't launch a shell command.

    Is there something you didn't understand? If so, say as much and we'll explain.
