This is XP, and so far it still doesn't work for me, I can't run programs
already listed there (except using START) with or without the extension.

The existing entries are keys, so I added a string value directly at that

Perhaps there's some other setting that must be toggled to enable this.

I have done some research on this. It turns out we are both right in
our observations.
