Agreed. But ArcHandlerEx 1.6 (27.04.01) can read files with spaces.

I've recently gone fully over to Ex as ArcDir sometimes didn't perform as it
should on some files when you double-clicked them. Ex seems more complete,
obviously more expandable etc..bit slower, but not much now. :)

Sorry. See above. But you must know what the latest "release" version is,
though that may be different to the one you are working (or not?) on right
now :)
