As the file manager application in WINDOWS, I suspect Explorer was written not to allow multiple copies of itself and that all requests would attach to the single running instance.

I may have been a tad wrong misguided with my suspicions. Starting explorer with start /wait or INLINE results in two copies of explorer running. However, the batch file continues to wait for explorer to end.
 
Interesting to NOTE:

Batch file copy: high priority USING 20 MB
System copy: normal priority using 35MB

Normally explorer lives in the Windows directory. Any chance there is another copy in your PATH? Just asking.

My copy of explorer is dated 4/14/2008 and seems to work as advertised. This gets curiouser and curiouser!
