ShellExecute: does not correctly handle spaces inside lpFile.

    Description

      I installed Nero 6 in ReactOS.

      When I double click the "Nero SmartStart" icon on the desktop, it opens a shell folder pointing to %PROGRAMFILES%Nero instead of launching the program.

      This is actually a bug that can be easily reproduced: create in "c:\" two directories, one named "my" and one named "my 2". Now create a shortcut on the desktop to "c:\my 2" and double click on it: the explorer will open "c:\my" instead of "c:\my 2".
