Can Run commands if directory name is too long!

[pinout]

if you quote the command or pathname, you have to use START ""

look at START /?

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/sEPARATE | /SHARED]

[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]

[/WAIT] [command/program]

[parameters]

if you do START /WAIT "command" its going to think "command" is the title

thats why you have to do START "" /WAIT "command"

seems strange, but thats the way it has to be done if you want to quote the command

but you are right, you can do a START /WAIT longpath\command, without having to quote it.. but you can run into problems.. for example if you are trying to execute an exe named setup.exe, it will run setup.exe in system32

interesting... must be that i've never quoted things i'm running i always make sure i don't have long path names for my unattend disks to avoid any such confusion
