Hey guys, I know how to rename a file in cmd (ren or rename), but I can't remember how to rename a file such as "program files'' to be "program_files." kind of like phrase renaming. Thanks for any help.

HI Gl@dius.

It should be

ren "Program Files" program_files

HI Gl@dius.

It should be

ren "Program Files" program_files

[Gl@dius]

hmm... I can swear I tried that a couple times, but I must not have done it right. thanks for the conformation and help.

stupid access is denied... (I need to change it because I need to run a file that is in the program files, on startup, and so I took the long way around, writing a batch file to run the file, and the batch file reads "program files" and tries to search for "program." baaaahhh..... anyone want to give me a computer? preferably gaming.

If you still need help , post the batch file.

In order to run something via batch file/cmd, that has spaces in the directory tree, just put the entire path in quotes.

Example:

To run Firefox via batch file:

"c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

Thats it!
