I seem to be having difficulty passing an image filename to P.E. when launching P.E.
If I launch P.E. from "Start Programs", and select my photo via the "File" => "Open" menu, I can open any JPG file successfully.
If I launch P.E. from a Command Prompt, I get one of two different results, depending on which JPG file I pass as a parameter. For example, let’s say the I typed the following into the Command Prompt window:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\PhotoshopElements.exe" c:\MyDocs\MyPhoto,jpg
It sometimes works properly, bringing up P.E. with the selected photo displayed, and, with other photos, instead it brings up a window-size property box, and then displays an empty window of that size. (It depends on which photo).
If type the same thing into the "Start" => "Run" box, the results are consistent with the result that I get from the Command Prompt.
On the other hand, if I set P.E. as the default program for opening JPG files, then when I double click on a JPG file in Explorer, it lauches P.E. which then brings up the "Adobe Photoshop Elements" spash screen, but no picture or picture window.
If I place a shortcut to P.E. in the "SendTo" folder, and send a file from Explorer to P.E., the behavior is the same as when I just double-click the file with P.E. as the default program for opening JPG files.
The above four techniques work fine if I use a different imaging program than P.E.
I am running Windows 2000 SP4 with security patches. What are the possible causes and fixes?
