Launch programs whose path contains spaces

Question

Try:-

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run("""c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe""")
Set objShell = Nothing

Note the extra ""s in the string. Since the path to the exe contains spaces it needs to be contained with in quotes. (In this case simply using "firefox.exe" would work).

Also bear in mind that many programs exist in the c:\Program Files (x86) folder on 64 bit versions of Windows.

You van use Exec

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Exec("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
Set objShell = Nothing

It's working with

Set WSHELL = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHELL.Exec("Application_Path")

But what should be the parameter in case we want to enter the application name only

e.g in case of Internet Explorer

WSHELL.Run("iexplore")

set shell=CreateObject("Shell.Application")
' shell.ShellExecute "application", "arguments", "path", "verb", window
shell.ShellExecute  "slipery.bat",,"C:\Users\anthony\Desktop\dvx", "runas", 1
set shell=nothing
