Problem with batch file.

Greenlizard0 · 24 Jan 2009 at 19:44

I am trying to create a batch file, such that when I click it, all the folders in my storage volume open up.

It is running fine for those folders that have a single word as their name, but for those with more than one - I get "cant find blah blah" errors.

Can anybody help as to why? Do I need to use speech marks or something?

@ECHO OFF

START D:\Singles
START D:\Albums
START D:\Desktop Wallpapers
START D:\Drivers and Firmware
START D:\Dump
START D:\Movies
START D:\Other Items
START D:\Photos and Pictures
START D:\TV Show & Movie Clips
START D:\Utilities

Lol, that probably came out of watching too much 'Allo 'Allo recently.
