Is this some > in(f|t)ernal MS Windows Registry thing? ;-) I haven't been able to find a good reference for this, but the windows shell passes command line parameters in %1 %2 %3 ... etc. You can use %* to mean "all parameters." I think by default it tries to use short-filenames in some cases, and so %L means the same as %1 except it uses long file names. There are others, like %I which I think passes a CLSID of some kind. I've searched the platform SDK in vain for a reference to this stuff, the above is what I've been able to piece together. Anyone know of a better source?
