Trying to solve the WARCRA~\MAPS\LASTCREA~.w3x Dos Name problem

As described above, the Wold Editor will show the Dos name of a map if you open it with a double klick in Explorer.
If you open it with the load function from within the Editor the map will have it's real name....

I found out that it has to do with the registry specifications for w3x and w3m files.
For those files it only says "WorldEdit.ScenarioEx" in the registry, so I guess it takes all shell information from WorldEdit.exe or somewhere else.

Does anyone know which Registry entries I need to overrule this and to open maps with their proper names?

A finally got it to work. It will be included in my new WE Enhancer

For the sake of my own knowledge, how did you accomplish this?

Open your registry with Regedit
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
and search for the entries WorldEdit.Scenario, WorldEdit.ScenarioEx, WorldEdit.AIData and WorldEdit.Campaign

For these four keys you only need to change their string under shell\open\command from ......(your WC path)..... "%1" to ......(your WC path) ...... "%L"

Just replace the 1 by L for all the four Subkeys and your w3x, w3m, wai and Campaign files will be opened with their correct name
