The only thing I can think of is to change COMSPEC to your own
program,which sets the mode and then calls cmd.exe (since you can't pass
arguments with the COMSPEC env var).

Keep in mind that other programs will be using the COMSPEC var to find the
command interpreter,  so you may run into side effects.
