[Tutor] Os.system on winXP system having trouble with spaces in directory names (original) (raw)

I'm having trouble with a using os.system on a windowsXP machine.

Running: os.system('start C:\Documents and Settings\Smith_B2\Desktop\page.html')

Yields and error saying 'Windows cannot find C:\Documents.....'

This same problem means I can't access things in the 'Program Files' directory and so forth. Any ideas of work-arounds (other than moving to non-space included directories)?
