Why? Well, because some idiot when installing did not bother to add the surrounding quotes and because in Sweden there is always the C:\Program folder to mistakenly open... So I have the habit of always avoid whitespace in install paths wherever possible and I use the folder "Programs" to avoid confusion with the "Program Files" folder used by English Windows. /Bo
