    I Need the Support for Opening the Applications in the Directory


    I need the support for opening the applications in the directory with the spaces instead of the underscores or the dashes.

    Example 1: If I open an application in the directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\audacity.exe, it works, even though there are a few spaces in the directory, Program Files (x86).

    Example 2: If I open an application in the directory, C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe, it works, even though there are a few spaces in the directory, Program Files.

    Example 3: If I open an application in the directory, C:\Program Files\paint.net\PaintDotNet.exe, it works, even though there are a few spaces in the directory, Program Files.

    Example 4: If I open an application in the directory, C:\P T W\PTW.exe, it does not work, because an application hates the spaces in the directory, P T W. The application needs the underscores or the dashes.

    I am not sure about the periods or the commas, but I should not discuss about the periods or the commas.

    Well, that seems to preclude relevant replies - if that means you don't want replies mentioning them.

    And you've not said anything about the context in which you're trying to do this: examples:
    Powershell prompt
    Command prompt
    Task scheduler
    Run dialogue
    ....
