I'm trying to install an application in Windows 7, and when I specify a installation path with a space (Like "Program Files"), I get an error. I've tried excluding the space, putting the path in quotation marks, and using a "?" for a space.
Is there some kind of workaround?
EDIT: If I remove the space, it will work initially, but fails when it attempts to write files to that location.
How about Program%Files? I haven't tested it - let me know if it works or not :)

I was trying to add a dir to my path environment but somehow things went wrong and now the terminal wont even recongnize the 'ls' command.
How can I reset or fix this?
Thanks.
Do it from another account, if needed by booting in single user mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
This presumes that you are familiar with the basics of Unix shells.

I've read many articles about using wevutil.exe and it seems to be exactly what I need. However, I cannot find it. I've tried on a Windows 2003 server, Windows 2008 server, Windows 7, etc. All come back with "'wevutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command". TechNet (which has docs on using it) doesn't list a download point so I assume it is provided with Windows?
I think you just misspelled, it's actually WevtUtil, and is located in C:\Windows\System32.

Which Windows 7 file(s) are critical for booting?
In other words, what is the shortest way to irreversibly dismantle a Windows 7 instance via a batch script, assuming we have root privileges?
I googled a bit, but I found ambiguous information.
*I'm asking this out of curiousity - not to do evil deeds.
The thing about booting files is that all of them can easily be restored. If you want to irreveribly degrade Windows about the only thing you can do is destroy the registry files. See this link for the location of the registry archives.

I was puzzled seeing this. My vmware virtual machine was running and I was monitoring the size of the virtual disk file. The size of the file kept increasing but 'last modified' date remained unchanged. How is this possible? Confused.
My host OS is windows vista and guest (which I guess doesn't matter) is Linux.
My guess is that the last modified date doesn't actually get changed until the file is closed.

I found that taking any exe file, renaming it to program (without extension) and putting it in C:\ root folder might cause strange things in windows like showing this application when other programs start.
What is it? is it some kind of backdoor?
p.s if you restart windows after doing so - you get a warning about it.
thanks,

Maybe the fact that some programs don't know how to access C:/Program Files/. because it has a space. Then they are trying to execute C:/program, which in your case turns out to be the file you created.
