Ay op!
I have just started using the run command (windows+R key) in windows to open files/folders. This works great with folders that are only one word long for example "\music" to open my music folder, "iexplorer" to open internet explorer, works fine, but if im trying to open something like my documents e.g.. "\my documents" it only searches the first word so it says "cannot find "my"" just wondering if anyone knows how to run folders that have spaces in the name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers.
Rich.

ahaa, thank you

actually, you dont need the c:, you can just do "\my documents"

I tried using a program called "launchy" which is meant to do the same as the run utility but, in actual fact this run utility is so much better!
