Hi,
I'm trying a command line switch to open a folder called "West
Virginia, State of" within a folder called "W". I can work it to the
"W" but not the child and I imagine the reason is the comma in the
folder name.

This works:
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,X:\Clients\Risk Management\W

This doesn't:
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,X:\Clients\Risk Management\W\West Virginia,
State of

Is there a workaround other than renaming the folder?

Sincerely,
Paul Cross

None that I can find. I even escaped the , (^,), but it didn't help.

How about this?
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,"X:\Clients\Risk Management\W\West Virginia,
State of"
