Of course, that's why you should try format <"file:"%s"" $file> instead of <format ""file:%s"" $file> the quoted string is just <%s>, the path.
Tried both of those, no luck. Sometimes, I get an error, other times it silently fails. I haven't tried the -shortnames option, that might work. But I won't have access to a Windows PC again until Friday night.
If any of you uses Windows, you can easily edit the file yourself to try out these ideas. The file is pd/bin/pd.tk. Search for rundll32, that's the line in question.
