The commandline for programs invoked by double-clicking on the file in
Windows Explorer will contain a fully qualified path, enclosed in
double quotes (found in argv[0] in C terms). For commands run from the
command line, it's possible but fairly unlikely that the user typed a
quoted string. You could check argv[0] for the lack of a leading " to
test for this. However, that makes your program behave inconsistently;
other programs don't do this.
