    When opening files by double clicking in Windows, files with a non ascii character in the file path fail to open.

    To reproduce:
    1. Share user home folder at /Users/username
    2. Create a file or folder in the user folder with non ascii name, e.g. ?????.doc (Hebrew)
    3. Double click the file
    4. MS Word try to open the file and fail with an error about illegal path.

    You can open the same file from within MS Word by using File > Open.

    I tried with Windows sharing instead of Parallels shared folders, with same results.

    Details: Mac OS X 10.4.8, Parallels build 1940, Windows 2000 Pro, Office 2000 Pro
