Excel 2003 - Cannot Open File by Double-Click

[laurin1]

Something happened today and suddenly my users cannot open files by double-click if they path and/or file name has a space in it. When they try to open c:\Documents and Setttings\keithdavis\My Documents\test.xls, for example, Excel reports it cannot open the following files:

C:\Documents
and
Settings\keithdavis\My
Documents\test.xls

It's like the file isn't being passed to Excel with quotes anymore. There was an update from MS this morning for Office. Also, Word seemed to be doing the same thing, but Detect and Repair fixed it in Word, but not in Excel.

Also, it appears to only be for .xls files. Files with extension .csv are not affected.
