Renewing Ques: Wordpad & Long File Names

I have Windows 98, and I recently elminiated the Blebla worm. However, it left some residue: WordPad, which I use to open my *.doc files, no longer recognizes any file that has a space in it. So if I save something like c:\my documents\text.doc, or c:\files\my text file.doc, it won't open it.

This problem only occurs when I'm trying to open files from Windows explorer, however. When I open them from within WordPad, everything works just fine.

How do I get WordPad to recognize long file names from outside in Explorer?

Try this. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup > Accessories > Wordpad. Unselect it, reboot and reselect it.

Just a hunch, but see if the worm removal took a file named sulfnbk.exe with it. Search for this file, it should be in the Windows folder, if not extract it from the Windows disc to the Windows\Command folder

So far, none of that has worked. Anything else someone can help me with?
