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

Question

A configuration file needs position of another file,

but that file is located in \"C:\\Program Files\",

and the path with space in it is not recognized,

Answer 1

There should be a way to use the full c:\program files path directly. Often, it involves encapulating the string in quotes. For instance, on the windows command line;

c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe 

will not start Internet Explorer, but

"c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" 

will.
