Using run line - "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

[Guest NewsBot]

Hi all,

 

I got a laptop yesterday with Windows 7 64 bit.  I wanted to change the default installation directory from C (my SSD with limited storage) to a larger drive (F).  I ran regedit and followed steps

<a href="http://www.intowindows.com/change-default-installation-directory-in-windows-7-vista/" target="_blank">

HERE</a>. That didn't seem to work.  I recently tried running regedit again and got the error message "C:Windowsregedit.exe  The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."  If I try to run rstrui.exe, the same error message appears. 

It seems like I can't use any run line commands without this error message.  I'm also no longer able to run .exe files from C:UsersmyNameDownloads  .  I was unable to find any other topics which could help and was hoping someone here could provide some

assistance.

 

Thanks so much
