I'm trying to get Wine to run many MS apps such as office 2000. Office 2000 is stored under Program Files\. Now here's the question: /mnt/windows/Program Files/ is clearly illegal. How do I get into the program files directory and avoid a white space? And I tried the windows way of Progra~1 and it did't work :confused:

There's nothing 'illegal' about it as long as you put it between single quotes ('), double quotes ("), or you use an escape character instead of a space (where you see " " in the path, replace it with "\ ").
So, you could use:

'/mnt/windows/Program Files/'
"/mnt/windows/Program FIles/"
/mnt/windows/Program\ Files/
