Before KB943460 Reaktor 5.1.2 would launch an serve it's ensembles on a mouse
click.

After the update it ignores the lauch parameter and load a default ensemble.

Unistalling KB943460 fixes the problem.

Have a look into the "More Information" section in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943460/en-us and use the registry hack
to *temporarily* disable the "advanced" URI checking coming with KB943460.
In case you've installed IE7 on your system, it's IMHO more than *essential*
to apply KB943460 and to *not* use the registry hacks.

AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH.

After I installed this patch, none of my applications in my
organization can open files that have a space in the path by
double-clicking them.

Spaces in the path without quotes around the path? And once again:

Ok, but that workaround says that I've got to do it for EVERY
application that uses this, and that's a bunch.

Wonna answer this question? Wonna specify what "Reactor" is or means?
Wonna elaborate on whether the issue occurs on local drives and/or on
network drives?

I don't know what Reactor is. That was the other guys problem, but I
believe it's affecting all of my applications.

Windows isn't about believing. Answer the questions asked to narrow
the issue you're seeing in case you'll accept any help from outside.

Ok, I work in IT for a living. I KNOW that it's affecting other
applications, sorry for the incorrect wording. I install the patch, and
no application can open a file via the shell (double-click) that has a
space in it. I uninstall the patch and it the problem goes away. That's
enough to make me "believe" it.

And answer what questions? What reactor is? I have no idea, that was
not my initial statement. The other question? Do you mean this one:

> Spaces in the path without quotes around the path?

I don't know what you mean, as I'm double-clicking the files. I
understand what you mean about putting quotes around the path, but
where?

The files are located on a *local* drive or a *network/shared* drive
on another machine?

Space in the folders and/or files makes no difference?

Under "Run" for example.

Anyway, contact MS-PSS and let *them* know about the issue. The call
should be free of charge.

Either way, network or local, neither work.

Space in either folder or file cause the problem.

Don't know doing it using Run and putting quotes, and i've already
uninstalled the patch.

I can't find a way to submit the issue without a charge.

No repro here.

In case you *don't* have IE7 installed, that may be okay. If you have
IE7 installed, uninstall it.

Which applications are running permanently in the background?

That's you posting there, "laurin1", correct? If true, follow "Glen9999"'s
advice.

Have you used any registry "cleaning" and/or "tuning" tool on the machines?
