Thanks. Changing the command prompts code page did indeed allow me to
run the script by specifying the script's path only.

However the script's path displays incorrectly inside the command prompt
itself, as I type it ("C:/Scripts/ClichÚ/test.rb") and any command's
output such as "dir" appears wrong as well.

I changed the reg key + reboot to see if I could launch the file within
windows explorer but it didn't have any effect, still not working.
