If this "operating system" would behave halfways predictable, the
title string should be consumed by the program called "start".  AR
shouldn't see it at all.  If it does, it's certainly due to a severe
bug in Windows.

I don't have enough time to read all emails I get very carefully, but
I'm now trying to follow the "texdoc error" thread more carefully.

What I've seen so far is not very promising:

Incidentally, while testing, I double-clicked on "minitoc.pdf", and
not only it but "t-lilypond.pdf" opened : "lilypond.pdf" is not even
in the same directory ...

There is no texdoc or any other TeX Live related script involved. Phil
just double-clicked on a PDF-file in the Widows Exploder.  This
example clearly proves that Windows is completely broken.  Or is it an
Adobe issue?  Adobe is well known to do stupid things too.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
