Thanks for all your help guys. I have found the source of my problem. I had
one of those XP Tweaking programs that I had asked to turn on the "openwith"
context menu all the time. It has a bug in it and was putting the extra " in
the filename.
I have dissabled this feature and openwith is working again. The program was
from
http://www.freshdevices.com called Freshui Version 7.15 just in case
someone else has the same problem.
Thanks again
