There is too much in your string value for the ComSpec envvar.  It
should ONLY point at which handler to run to load a command shell.
Everything from the semicolon, and afterward, should not be specified in
ComSpec.  The envvar points to a handler, not to a list of handlers or
paths.

in HKLM, but would have to drill down.

Yep, that shows the same stuff under HKCR.
