Doing a Replace All with a double quote character in the find box and nothing in the replace box, will remove them all. As an alternative, in FreeCommander Edit Menu, Copy Full Name as Text you don't get double quotes even if there are spaces in the filename. Pick your poison. :) afa the double quotes around the paths, you can Search & Replace with EditPad lite.

And Hyperlinks don't need quotation marks around it, so with the silly vista path copy I have to go and remove them first. The other reason I use copy Path a lot is for linking to things from Sharepoint and that needs a UNC path. I find most apps now will handle the spaces with the %20 symbols. I love Ninotech Path Copy (http://home.worldonline.dk/ninotech/) becuase it has many options for different ways of copying paths. Unfortunately I can’t work out how to install an .inf file in Vista. Any ideas on how you install an .inf file in Vista?

I don't know of any way to remove them, however. The quotation marks are always added because a lot of file paths have spaces in them. I don’t know of any way to remove them, however.
