I havent tried this but you might want to setup the application mappings as
specified in the How To's in your explorer file options. It would appear
that the %s %s is very important not sure why but seen that with other

chance. I will collect some of the information I get from the list and
other on win32 platforms and put together some How To's for CGI on win32
platforms.
