I need to invoke an exe file in C:\Program Files directory from a batch file.How can we mention the directory name "Program Files" in batch file.I am getting error like C:\Program not found.
I believe that % or ~ needs to be added in between but couldn't get it.Kindly assist.

While in the command prompt type "cd\", then enter. From there type "cd\program" then hit the tab button until you see "c:\program files (x86)", then hit enter.
Content writing to files is also done with the help of the double redirection filter >>. This filter can be used to append any output to a file. Following is a simple example of how to create a file using the redirection command to append data to files.
Surround the script call with "", generally it's good practices to do so with filepath.
"C:\Program Files"
Although for this particular name you probably should use environment variable like this :
"%ProgramFiles%\batch.cmd"
or for 32 bits program on 64 bit windows :
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\batch.cmd"
On my pc I need to do the following:
@echo off
start C:\"Program Files (x86)\VirtualDJ\virtualdj_pro.exe"
start C:\toolbetech\TBETECH\"Your Toolbar.exe"
exit
Now that bash is out for windows 10, if you want to access program files from bash, you can do it like so:
cd /mnt/c/Program\ Files.
