This is a great all-purpose viewer. I've been using it for some time. Not as capable with graphic files as dedicated graphics viewers, but you can view hundereds of file types, including most popular graphics files. It solves the problem of launching Word from within ZTree to just view a file, as you can Alt-View .DOC files. It also opens ZIP files in tree structure format, for selective unzipping, which it will do much faster than ZTree. (One drawback of the unzip, though, is that you have to have already created the destination directory).

Yes, I had the same problem. To avoid this limitation I used the short names:

C:\PROGRA~1\QUICKV~1\PROGRAM\QVP32.EXE -m

TIP: The -m at the end launches QVP full screen (maximized) each time, if you like.

Although the short path names work, it would be helpful, Kim, if we could use the longer names. Might be a few fewer e-mails to answer. ;-)
