Yes, exactly. However, Microsoft Excel is telling me that it launched a
file named "/e" via the commandline. This is obviously not true, but it's
the "filename" given to me. So, in my report, the user is told that they
worked on a document named "/e", which is obviously incorrect. What
do I tell the user? "Sorry mate, Excel said you did it, so you did it."
