Hi there,
it seems that VLC Player does not follow the standard behavior to set
its path into quotation marks when writing its path into the registry.
Have a look at the path
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\vlc.exe\shell\Play\command
in the registry.
In my registry under Vista 32 EN Business the value is
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --started-from-file "%1"
Normally, it should read
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --started-from-file "%1"
Windows Explorer accepts both variants but the first one causes problems
when trying to call that command from self-written programs.
It would be nice if you could add this request to the bug tracker.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
