Press Ctrl-H, select the regular expression match, then search for (Process\.Start process.*) and replace it with \1 shell=True.

\1 means "whatever is matched by the first parentheses in the search string", so in this case it would be the whole line. The dot between "Process" and "Start" must be escaped with a backslash or it will be treated as a special character meaning "anything". .* means: any number of any characters, so that it doesn't matter what comes after "Process.Start process", it will always match.
