Actually You have to put it in quotes: likes these
"c:\program files\game\starwar.exe"

use quotation marks. Names with ~ are the DOS names which contain no space and do not exceed 8 characters, the correct way is to use quotes.

Many commands use paths to designate files processed , either the path is absolute, then it means a file regardless of the specific context or
either the path is relative to the current context path (working directory), the designated file depends on the contex However, this does not work with the space character (in a file name for example). In this case, use quotes:
"C: \ Program Files \ example.exe"

We Cannotput any space in a path name, we know that this is a special character that has the look of a space (255 alt), The problem is you cannot enter blank spaces from the command prompt in DOS. This was overcome by treating anything between quotation marks as one word or string.
