[Lazarus] Launching External Tool Cmd.exe in Windows

[shoKwave]

Hi,

I simply tried putting a TProcess and a TButton on a form and used 
following code

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
   Process1.ApplicationName:='c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe';
   Process1.Execute;
end;

Works for me on a Win10 32bit machine with FPC 3.0.0 and Lazarus 1.6.
