Good evening
All you need to do is place \" at the beginning and end of your quoted
string. the run command is the same as typing something into the Windows
Run box. You need to quote the command in that box if it contains spaces.
See below:
Run("\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Jones\\Application Data\\Freedom
Scientific\\JAWS\\9.0\\Settings\\enu\\Delete_pdf.exe\"")
HTH,
Everett
