File Type %1 is not Long File Name

[Leon]

I've created a new file type action called "fred.exe".
When I try to pass %1 to "fred.exe" Windows XP passes the short file name.

Windows sends
c:\this is a long file name.txt
as
c:\thisis~1.txt

What can I do to correct this problem.

Try "%1" instead of %1
