Maybe those were custom commands of yours? Try the following instead:

:!explorer
:!cmd
:help :!

Works fine for me.

They also work fine for me, but I use always :!start explorer or
:!start cmd because in this way I can continue editing my files.

They aren't custom commands.

The OP had forgotten the ! and I thought he might be referring to a
custom Vim function named 'start'. All clear now.

Same problem here:

execute "!start regedit" (just a sample) works fine with 7.3.441 (last version I updated to); it's no longer working in 7.3.446:

441:
!start regedit.exe
=> regedit starts

446:
!start regedit.exe
=> E371: Command not found

Reverting to the versions below 7.3.446, I found that the first version the command is no longer working in, is version 7.3.445.

It worked for me until version 7.3.444, then by upgrading to 7.3.446 it
didn't work anymore.

:!start command is very useful for windows boxes.
