Darren-

By escaping it;

string s = "can you find the \" extra quote?";

But, if you add a quote to you string in the place you indicated, you will
have unbalanced quotes. What you want is for you string to look like this;

"C:\Documen ts and Settings\Darren \My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\shorcu t\bin\Debug\sho rcut.exe" /r

So you would assign the string like this:

string s = "\"C:\Docum ents and Settings\Darren \My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\shorcu t\bin\Debug\sho rcut.exe\" /r";

Read the docs on strings you really must. Try this:

string s = "\"C:\\Document s and Settings\\Darre n\\My Documents\\Visu al
Studio Projects\\shorc ut\\bin\\Debug\ \shorcut.exe\\" /r";
