The following preconditions must be met:

- Multiple programs (.exe files) with the same beginning of the Filename in the same folder - Filename is longer than 8.3 characters - The programs are located on a CD

Bug description: Double clicking or pressing enter on a program with similar beginning of the filename results in launching the program with the shortest similar name.

Example: My Program.Exe My Program - Plugins.Exe My Program - Languages.Exe

No matter which of those three is double clicked, "My Program.Exe" will always be launched instead.

Workarounds: Shift+Enter / Shift+double click on filename (actually meant for starting a command line application without closing the output window) Ctrl+Enter, Enter / Ctrl+Shift+Enter, Enter on filename for copying filename to TC's command line and launching it.
