Bug

[Gabriel]

Hi everybody
I think i found a bug in windows XP :
The "subst" command that is used to create a virtual drive, make a
mistake when we want to create a virtual drive for a folder that's
name is two pieces like->
"my world"
when you enter this, you will be encounter a message->
"Incorrect number of parameters -world"
It means that windows think the secend part of the name of folder is a
parameter.
check it out

check it out

why?

Because Gabriel is seeking confirmation that he has discovered a bug
or an explanation as to why he has not.

Of course one might ask you what purpose you think is served by you
posting as you did?

Hope this helps.

This is not a bug - any path with spaces must be enclosed in double quotation
marks (") for it to work properly.
Try subst F: C:\Program Files and you will get the error -files is not a
valid parameter.
Try subst F: "C:\Program Files" (like you should) and it will correctly map
'C:\Program Files' as drive F:
This applies to any path with spaces in Command Prompt.
