registry and speach marks ie: "...."

Can anyone help me with identifying how to get speech marks into the
registry without giving me an error.

I have the following i would like to place in the registry.

"cmd.exe /c MD "%1\NewFolder""

The problem is that by putting the original " " marks at the beginning
and the end of the code seems to limit putting "%1\NewFolder" around
this parameter, which is important in this instance.

The error message states its an: Unterminated string constant Code:
800A0409.

Any help would be most welcome.


TIA

Might be helpful if i gave the code that goes with this question.


sProcessLabel = "Tweak: Create New Folder Context Menu."
sRegValue = "HKCR\Folder\shell\NewFolderCommand\Command\"
sDataValue = "cmd.exe /c MD "%1\NewFolder""
sRegType = "REG_SZ"

' Check whether the registry values exist.
' If registry values match then no action else write new values to
registry
If (KeyExists(sRegValue) = True) Then
' Write to audit file
objLogFile.WriteLine vbTab & vbTab &
L_ParameterExists_ErrorMessage & " [" & sRegValue & "]"
sLogFile.WriteLine vbTab & vbTab &
L_ParameterExists_ErrorMessage & " [" & sRegValue & "]"
ClearRegVals
Else
' if the value didn't meet the criteria, script continues here
' Write to audit file
objLogFile.WriteLine vbTab & vbTab & sProcessLabel & " [" &
sRegValue & "]"
sLogFile.WriteLine vbTab & vbTab & sProcessLabel & " [" &
sRegValue & "]"
' Install process
WshShell.RegWrite sRegValue, sDataValue, sRegType
ClearRegVals
End If

Hi

Inside a quoted string, use two quotes to get one effective:

'--------------------8<----------------------

sValueData = "cmd.exe /c MD ""%1\NewFolder"""

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Test\Test", sValueData, "REG_SZ"
'--------------------8<----------------------
