      Windows hasn’t fully upgraded all of its plumbing for file and folder names that contain spaces. Use triple ” marks before and after the path and it should work. (The reason it is triple: VBScript and VBA use double ” marks to represent a literal ” in a string, so when the code runs, the Shell program will get the path with single ” around it.)

        Bingo! The triple ” worked like a charm. I thought MS would have updated the shell script to handle spaces by now but they obviously haven’t. Thanks for the help!
