Solve : Having Trouble Starting Programs?

Answer»

I'm new with dos, just recently started toying around with it, and I'm having TROUBLE starting programs with SPACES in the path. The program where I first encountered the program is Wracraft 3 The FROZEN Throne.
The whole file path is as follows "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" but all it needs it frozen throne.exe by my basic understanding of dos, but it can't recognize the space.

As suggested, here are my computer specs.
Windows XP Home Edition OS version 2002 service pack 2
Custom Built
SOYO SY-P4VTE Motherboard
1.5GB of Ultra PC3200 RAM
Pentium 4 3GHz Processor with hyperhreading, guess the hyperthreading works, it shows two processors
256mb GEForce FX5500 video card
80GB WDC WD800BB-00CAA1 hard drive
A generic floppy drive
52x24x52x CDWRITER IDE5224 directly hooked up to audio on motherboard
E-IDE CD-ROM 45x, no direct audio play
Dell CRT Monitor
That's about it. Welcome to the forum
You gave the answer away in your previous post without even knowing it
You would write:
Code: [SELECT] CALL "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe"

Good luck

And remember that Command Prompt (that you are using) is NOT DOS! Cool, it worked. Thanks for the help, and I hope I can find help here in the future too. I assume that works with all spacing problems.
