Probably because ShellExecute("notepad xyz.html") or ShellExecute("open xyz.html") works that way. First trying to interpret it as a desktop folder and then searching the system path for an executable file with that name.

Alternatively, copy an executable to the desktop and rename it to notepad.exe. Spooky! /me thinks of the fun games he can have with his workmate's PC's...

Sounds like a bug to me.  Either in IE, where it should be doing ShellExecute( "notepad**.exe** xyz.html" ) or where the shell (and/or ShellExecute(...)/ShellExecuteEx(...) should be noticing the un-embedded space and knowing that there is no reason to pass a parameter to a folder proper (to Explorer.exe telling it what to do with the folder, maybe, but not to the folder itself).    Peace! -=- James

If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

For me here is "El veloz murciélago hindú comía feliz cardillo y kiwi." what in english is like: "The fast Hindu bat ate "cardillo" and kiwi happily." :doh: Is it to get me crazy, or what?
