Any news?

I've got one laptop out of 15+ machines, on various Windows versions, that
won't run the shell like all the others.
I can make it work on that laptop if I move the application out of
c:\Program Files\... and put it in c:\temp\..., so I'm wondering if it
relates to whatever dll supports long filenames and spaces...
