I must be the only one who uses 'the shortfilepath' to avoid all this?
Though while we're at it, this works too.
put merge("[[quote]]C:\Documents and Settings\myprofile\Desktop\My App

I may or may not have responded to this, but you cannot simply enclose the
program name in quotes for the argument to the shell command, because Livecode
will simply interpret whatever is between the quotes and send that.
Instead, put the path to the app or file you want to work with into a var

*Set ProcessSet
=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select

*tList = ""*
*For each Process in ProcessSet*
* if Process.ExecutablePath <> "" Then*
* tList = tList & Process.Na
Ah k, nvm. The impersonation stuff designates access level.

I don't understand Ken Rays script, will have to look things up.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect a standard backslash is used to escape
chars in vb scripts so if you had an executable named "fred schmed.exe" to
make it work it would be "fred\ schmed.exe"
Also, if you have a path with spaces

you need to quote or escape spaces. That was suggested and people succesfully
tested it on their own setup.
What exactly did you try to quote the filenames, or escape the spaces?
