Associating MS Office file types with Wine Applications

I've posted on this previously, but this one is just a bit different. I have associations that for instance start MS Word when I click a .docx file but, the file is not loaded. The launcher was executing:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/tward/.msoffice2010" wine /home/tward/.msoffice2010/dosdevices/c\:/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE %U

After seeing this post I changed it to simply tell wine to launch the proper application:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/tward/.msoffice2010" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix %U

And its working now.
