Do you have any references for this claim? In my command line on XP sp2, this works just fine: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC>"c:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe" "c:\tmp\f a.txt" "c:\tmp\f b.txt" Both the program, and the two file names are quoted and textpad.exe opens them both.
