Paul,
It turns out that the problem is not simply between clicking and opening.
The recent files list, which appears when one clicks on _F_ile, has some entries in the Unix style (C:/LyX/etc) and some in the Windows style (C:\LyX\etc). If I use the former then I can export, the Windows style fails.

Are there known problems with Export? I find that I cannot export to ascii or latex.What platform? There's a bit of an adventure with exporting on Windows, depending on how you opened the file (file menu v. double-clicking the file icon).

Paul,
Thanks, you have put your finger on the problem. If I open a file I can export. With clicking in the Windows Explorer I cannot.
The workaround appears to be "NEVER enter LyX by clicking". I've removed the file association
I am using Windows XP with Lyx 1.3.5.
Thanks,
Colin W.

When you open a file from the file icon, the entry in the file history menu has the wrong type of separators. If you follow the workaround, eventually those entries will disappear from the history menu. History entries from files opened from the file menu have the correct separators.
