Perhaps if you look for and use the -short- directory name equivalents,
instead?  You know the ones off of a DIR listing that end in
"~1".  They'll work just as well with a CD command.  It works on
my wife's XP-Pro (though the DIR command needed a "/X" switch to
show the short names).

Keep going with it.

Oh, I had a thought about your supposed hackers.  Given some thought about
how DOS works, and, the location of the directory where your Archive.Com
file resides in the DOS search PATH, you could plant dummy Do.Com, Do.Bat,
Do.Exe, Espace.Bat, Espace.Exe and Espace.Com type files to throw any
hackers off.  I have great example from one of the Batch Ghods, Vernon
Frazee, from back in '96 as a candidate; just ask and I'll post it.

Also, a nice juicy-looking directory called "C:\Halliwell Sisters'
Powder Room Diaries" could be a goodie.  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.

... Oh! I get it!  HAhahahaha...haha...
