To avoid passing a path with spaces in it, use the "short form" of the
path, such as %:p:8 (this works only on Windows -- on Unix you can just
backslash-escape the spaces).
This will convert the path so that "Program Files" becomes PROGRA~1, "My
Documents" MYDOCU~1 and, I think, "Copy of startup.m" COPYOF~1.M -- the
same directories and files will be accessed, but without the need for
quoting the path.
Best regards,
