How do I specify C:\Program Files without a space in it for programs that can’t handle spaces in file paths?

by

you should be able to use

  • “c:\Program Files” (note the quotes)
  • c:\PROGRA~1 (the short name notation)

Try c:\> dir /x (in dos shell)

This displays the short names
generated for non-8dot3 file names.
The format is that of /N with the
short name inserted before the long
name. If no short name is present,
blanks are displayed in its place.
