Please do not commit this patch as explained in comment 18 of bug 5224: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5224#c18
Windows explorer's default behavior is to always start programs with double quotes around their filenames, even if the filename does not contain a space. Apparently, this is impossible (or more difficult than it's worth) to do in a shell script so I will need to rewrite this as a winelib program.
