i do not thing windows supports folder names with parenthetis

I am working in Visual Studio 2010 Pro. I am trying to start a process that runs Explorer.exe and opens to the directory that is passed as a string. dim foo as string foo = "n:\Archive Job by Rig\Noble Amos Runner\4501 COMP LLOG (MC 199, SS03)" process.start("explorer.exe",foo) A window opens but it is not opening to the specified directory. This works most of the time, however, most directories do not have parens.
