Filetype association in Windows registry requires double-quotes to properly handle files with spaces #290
Description
Checklist
- I added a descriptive title
- I searched open reports and couldn't find a duplicate
What happened?
Double-clicking a file associated with the Spyder application does not get opened if the file path or name contains spaces.
The correct behavior is exhibited if the file name and path do not contain spaces.

The menu json file contains the directive
"command": ["{{ PREFIX }}/Scripts/spyder.exe", "%*"]
When the file associations are created in the Windows registry, the command appears as
C:\Users\rclary\AppData\Local\spyder-6\envs\spyder-runtime\Scripts\spyder.exe %* %1
If I modify the registry command to %* "%1", then double-clicking files with spaces will open in Spyder.
It seems that %1 is appended by menuinst and this must be double-quoted in order to work.
I've tried "%*" and %1 without success, so it seems %* is ineffective (quoted or not), but "%1" must be present in order to work.
