If you give a poor thing any bogus file with ".com" extension, it will try
to run it under NTVDM...

I'm seing that CreateFile( NULL, "batch.cmd", ... ) runs batch.cmd, but
CreateFile( NULL, "batch.js", ... ) gives error 193 : not a valid win32
app. The .js extension is on my PATHEXT.
I guess you are talking about CreateProcess(), not CreateFile().
If I remember correctly, CreateProcess() has some built-in logic for a
handful of file types that are not PE. This is how, for example, 16 bit
executables work: when CreateProcess() understands that the executable is
not a win32 executable, it forwards the execution request to NTVDM.
