I am using IEcapt.exe to capture website snapshot. The problem is, it cannot handle path directory that have space. Like this:

c:\program files\

Is there any way how I can pass directory like this to make it work?

Usually just double-quoting windows paths will work:

IEcapt.exe "C:\Program Files\some path"

If that really doesn't work, you might be able to get away with using the 8.3 filename or, in the case of program files, the %programfiles% variable.
