Any reason you used "cmd.exe /c " there ?   You're already in a commandline 
environment when you execute it (remove it and be amazed).

Funny, I've been doing the same for years now, but have never had a(ny) need 
for that "cmd.exe /c ".

That, an automatic cleanup after manually exiting a second commandline 
shell, would be one of the /very few/ reasons to open a second shell with 
the /k switch.

... and that destroys the whole benefit of the above (the "automatic 
cleanup" would be executed before you got control).

Remarkable that you just know those lines where corrupted*, even though you 
have no idea what was in them.

* and not, for example, just altered due to having changed some settings in 
a dialog.

But I guess "corrupted" sounds way more important than "inadvertedly 
changed".
