Open New Window fails 4 some folders+links

[Larry(LJL269)]

My rt-clk menu for folders or links to folders has a 'Open New Window'
entry that opens the item in new window. Folders or links to them with
a '=' in path like "F:\My Documents\...\Prblm=CF(Y)missingXPmax" seem
to have part before '=' dropped since it results in Error:
'CF(Y)missingXPmax' is not a directory.

command in Registry is "explorer.exe %1" without quotes at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\opennew\command]

It seems like a ' or " in right place would solve this but all they
did was neutralize the command. I dont know much about Registry .

Your help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks- bye- Larry


Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

i just tested and [explorer.exe "%1"] works.(without [])

Good Luck, Ayush.

Greetings Ayush & thank you for your response.

I thought I tried that - well I shall now. I had to drop this problem
to get USB1.1 working on PCI-USB2 card which was very complicated: 5
drivers involved.

Your help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks- bye- Larry

Works great. Here's weird REG file entry that does the same thing(you
never know if & how to delineate "s !!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\opennew\command]
@="explorer.exe \"%1\""

Thanks- bye- Larry
