The default tray icon is dissapeared, but the process does not terminated fully.

Example:

{{{
ShellExecute(""C:\"")
;MsgBox(0, """", ""Exit"")
Exit
}}}

if we uncomment the msgbox line, then everything is ok, the script will exit with no problems.

This is happening when the first parameter is passed as literal string, but strangly not when drive letter is passed without a back slash (""C:"", ""D:"" etc.), without it the script exits ok.

Here is few tests that showing strange results:

'''Not Exits'''
{{{
$sVar = ""c:\""
ShellExecute($sVar)
Exit
}}}

'''Not Exits'''
{{{
ConsoleWrite(@HomeDrive & @LF)
ShellExecute(@HomeDrive)
Exit
}}}

'''Exits'''
{{{
ShellExecute(@HomeDrive)
Exit
}}}

'''Not Exists'''
{{{
ShellExecute(@HomeDrive & ""\"")
Exit
}}}
