How to escape blanks in path name - Windows Scripting

Question

I'm trying to run script below. The first program start up just fine but the second one with the blank spaces in the path name doesn't. How can this be resolved? Thanks.

    Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Shell.Run "cmd /n,C:\Windows\System32\", 4, False
    Shell.Run "sublime_text /n,C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\", 4, False

Solved it by following link below. I rewrote the last statement with 3 double quotes.
