.pws - Workspace files- opening via registry

I added some keys to my registry so .pws files would open with PingPlotter:

Code:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pws]
@="PingPlotter.Workspace"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\PingPlotter Pro\\PingPlotter.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PingPlotter.Workspace\shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\PingPlotter Pro\\PingPlotter.exe \"%1\""

well this succeeded in getting PWS files to open in PP3, but then PP3 greets me:

why doesn't PP3 accept pws files as command line arguments? It would be very much more convenient to double-click on these files and have them open. any reason?

Really, it needs to go hand in hand with loading/saving of data in a workspace file (as discussed in your question in the extensions forum). - Pete
