Adding a char inside path string

[Hitesh]

I post a crappy solution but I can add few more stuff to make it fail
proof.
i.e. I can search for ".exe -u"
But if someone names folder like "folder.exe u". This script could
fail.
Or if in padded garbase I get ".exe u"

These are two known issues I have to takcle.

Thanks everyone for your help.
