Hi, I am attempting to build a quick batch to copy and register some DLLs. But when I try to copy the files to "%windir%\downloaded program files" it fails with TOO MANY PARAMETERS. I know that it is because of the folder name having spaces in it, is there a way around this?

To create a long folder name with spaces at a command prompt, use quotation marks as in the following example: c:\>md "This is a Directory" In this case, both operating systems create one folder with the long file name "This is a Directory." 0 Response Number 2 Name: Wengier Date: June 18, 2004 at 10:37:52 Pacific Reply: "use quotation marks as in the following example" What exactly is your OS? DOS 6.22 or Win 2000? Note that you cannot use quotation marks in DOS 6.22! --------------- Long Live DOS! 0 Response Number 3 Name: Mick C Date: June 18, 2004 at 10:42:22 Pacific Reply: If its a case of wanting to use a MS-DOS 6.22 Bootdisk: Its not just that your folder name has spaces in it. 'DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES' has 24 characters & spaces in it, and MS-DOS 6.22 can only handle 8! You need to use a MS-DOS 7.10 or DR-DOS 8.0 Bootdisk with Long Filename Support. If all you need is a Bootdisk I have a MS-DOS 7.10 one on my PowerLoad Bootdisk Project Page, or look for Wengers Or take a look at Wengier's site @ http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm If however it is a differant problem, Please make your post a little clearer - MS-DOS 6.22 with OS 2000? - Please reply with a message to let us all know we are on the right track... 0 Response Number 4 Name: Mick C Date: June 18, 2004 at 10:44:04 Pacific Reply: Hi Wengier, I must have been writing my response as you posted yours!
