Start "path with a space in it" does not work correctly
Hi,This has always been a minor annoyance and Windows 7 still does this.From a command prompt, if you enter something like these:start .start \start C:\windows\systemthen you will get a new explorer window at that location.However, if you enter something with a space in the path like this:start "C:\program files"then you just get a new command prompt window at the same location.Microsoft, can't you fix the start command so this works?Thanks,Rob
