I tried this suggestion today. The details for
NT are slighly different, but I was able to find
the 'Open Action'. Mine had quotes around the %1,
but not around the ../BlackBox.exe. I added them,
but it made no difference.
Todays behaviour is:
If I double click on a .odc file it opens BBox,
and labels the Window correctly.
If I drag it onto the BBox icon it opens BBox,
and labels the Window correctly PROVIDED the name
is short. If it is long it
1 - Truncates the name
2 - Converts it to upper case
3 - Adds something like ~1.
Not a major problem, but irritating all the same.
Cheers
Robert.
