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

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

HERE. 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
