Cannot open file

I have Corel Draw 7 (1998) and the Photo-Paint 7 part fails to open a file when right clicking on the file if the filename or folder name has a blank in it. The error message is file xxx not found. Where xxx is the first part of the name up to the blank. It works OK if the full file name does not have blanks.

This was not a problem till recently and Corel Draw 7 does not have the problem.

The same file can be opened from within the program.

My computer OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1.

    I am now having the same problem. Photopaint 7 worked fine in Windows 7, 64 bit until now. Suddenly, Windows doesn't pass filenames the same and Photopaint 7 can't open them, although it always did before, spaces notwithstanding. Does anyone have a solution? I love how this 90s program can open in the blink of and eye on a modern machine. I really don't want to install clunkly slow-to-load new versions.
