Hmm ...

When we write both pathnames below each other:
   C:\DOCUME~1\Ken\Local.exw
   C:\DOCUME~1\Ken\Local Settings\Temp\is-KCOTO.tmp\exw.exe
this looks suspicious, doesn't it?

Maybe something like
   C:\DOCUME~1\Ken\Local Settings\Temp\foo
is e.g. passed as command-line parameter, without surrounding quotes.
When the concerning program contains some code such as
   constant
      CMD  = command_line(),
      FILE = CMD[1] & ".exw"

then because of vthe missung quotes, FILE would wrongly be
   C:\DOCUME~1\Ken\Local.exw
instead of
   C:\DOCUME~1\Ken\Local Settings\Temp\foo.exw

Just a guess.
