        The problem is that Microsoft Windows treats the space as a 
field separator AND a syntactically-significant character, within the 
same namespace. Bad, clunky move on their part. Quoting away the 
spaces from the shell's interpolation should help: 

        "C:\Documents and Settings" 

        vs. 

        C:\Documents and Settings

        or: 

        C:\Documents\ and\ Settings
