Good point "Program Files". What were they thinking?
It ends up requiring complex nested quotes in
command lines.

I've been saying that ever since W95 - the 'Files' is completely
redundant anyway, what else is going to be in a computer directory,
aardvarks?

And even today almost two decades later it means that stuff like Perl
still has to be installed elsewhere. I usually create a 'Programs'

I prefer "progs"

I know where it is, what it is, and three less keys to enter. To
steel my uncles phrase "I'm a good speller but a bad typest".

folder and put everything, that will let me, including Perl, in that
instead of in 'Program Files'.
