How to put space in path string?

Question

I tried many solutions but I fail.

I know that there is a problem with spaces and I can add @ or /" or "" (but double quotes in code lead to compiler errors)

This is my code:

string dirAppData = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
string sciezka = @"Microsoft\Windows\Menu Start\Programs\Startup";
string path = dirAppData + "\\" + sciezka;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", path);  // did not work (wrong path)
string sciezka1 = 
    @"C:\Users\Piotr\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", sciezka1);  // works

How should I write in path that it works in the first case?

I would also suggest using `Path.Combine` when merging paths, at least if you want your code to be portable. — JonasH, Jan 13 '21 at 12:55

it's just an typp :D

the first path is wrong.

string sciezka = @"Microsoft\Windows\Menu Start\Programs\Startup";

it should be

string sciezka = @"Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup";
