[Tutor] Os.system on winXP system having trouble with spaces in directory names

[Barrett Smith]

I'm having trouble with a using os.system on a windowsXP machine.  

Running:
os.system('start C:\\Documents and Settings\\Smith_B2\\Desktop\\page.html')

Yields and error saying 'Windows cannot find C:\Documents.....'

This same problem means I can't access things in the 'Program Files'
directory and so forth.  Any ideas of work-arounds (other than moving to
non-space included directories)?

Thanks,
Barrett
