fix!: with() on windows to be able to lookup program in registry/PATH.

The underlying invocation of `with()` changed slightly on windows to make it more useful
as it can now find application names like `chrome` in the registry, but that change may also
be breaking for some who previously worked around the previous behaviour.

Please let us know if this truly works better, or if more changes are needed to launch something
with a program on Windows.

See #82 for details.
