Re: Problem with MSINFO32.EXE

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the following location:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSInfo.Document\Shell\Open\Command

Double-click (default) and change the existing data from:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\MSInfo32.exe /msinfo_file %1

to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\MSInfo32.exe /msinfo_file "%L"

Exit the Registry Editor.

Yes I did. In your initial response, I failed to have the NFO already created
on the C:\ drive. After this, I was able to run this test OK. The problem
still exists however. Because the NFO file is created in a folder with spaces
in the name, when I try and open it from within Windows Explorer, the error
occurs. Take the spaces out of the folder structure and the file name, and it
works fine. Any spaces in either the filename or folder containing the NFO
file, causes the error.

Did you include the double-quotes around the file name, and still the error occurs?

No it does not work. The same error appears as:

System Information cannot open this NFO file. It might be corrupted or
unrecognized version.

Does this command (in Start/Run) work?

msinfo32 /msinfo_file="C:\System Information Report\System Information Report.nfo"

Assumes that the .nfo file is present in the following location:

"C:\System Information Report\System Information Report.nfo"

I have a problem opening NFO files when they are stored in folders that have
spaces in the name. For Example: Opening directly from C:\ runs fine but if I
place the file in C:\Documents and Settings\, I get the error that the file
cannot open or is corrupt. I have searched everywhere for an answer to this
problem but have not found anything helpful yet. Anyone else having this
problem? If not, try it and see what happens. Run the tool and then save the
file to a folder that has spaces and see what happens. Any help on this would
be nice.
