["Bobak, Mark" <Mark.Bobak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heh...I forgot that I first tried it w/ DIR as well.  I had the same
realization, that it wouldn't work cause it was a built-in, and that's
when I tried ipconfig.  Guess I should have mentioned that...;-)

Hmm...
I tried it with DIR 

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>.\ntimer.exe dir
CreateProcess(dir) failed 2

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools> 

The problem was that DIR is a builtin.
This works:

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>.\ntimer.exe cmd /c dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is C041-CD44
