Run Program Using Command Prompt

Hi,
This may not be the most appropriate forum but I thought it would be better than "DOS Standalone".
I want to be able to open applications using the command prompt in windows. To do this I have to use the "START" command, followed by the application name and path, however I keep getting errors while trying to do this.
Can anyone give me an exact example of what the command would look like?
the double quotes are necessary because there is a space in one of the folder names.
Good luck

Oh, the double quotes was where I was going wrong. That's why I had that problem, because of the space between "program files". Thanks very much for your help.
