spaces in folder name

[caspermurphy 0]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to open a folder, where the folder name contains spaces.

#include <Process.au3>

_RunDos("start f:\Deleted Workbooks")

I get an error cannot find the file 'f:\deleted' (or one of its components).

However this will work:

#include <Process.au3>

_RunDos("start f:\DeletedWorkbooks")

I realize it has to do with the space, I rather not have to rename the folder.

Thank you in advanced for your help.

Your quotes are not correct. When launching a program with spaces it needs to have quotes around it.

Example:

_RunDos("""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE""")

Kerby, thank you for your reply,

that works just great, except it opens up the folder in dos mode. Perhaps I missing something in my original post. I want to open that folder in an explorer window.

Thank you again.

Yes, try this one.

Run ( "explorer ""C:\program files""")
