	Off-hand, what do you get for:

C:\Users\Wulfraed>assoc .exe
.exe=exefile

C:\Users\Wulfraed>ftype exefile
exefile="%1" %*

C:\Users\Wulfraed>

	Any message with a %1 in it is referring to a placeholder parameter.
Note the surrounding double quotes above. If the ftype does not have the
quotes, any path provided that has internal whitespace may not parse
correctly.
