I want to use Connect To Server to connect to My Documents on a Windows XP machine, how do i enter a share name with a space in the name?

I tried My%20Documents and My"\040"Documents but neither work.

thanks
Bobby

Is there not a way to change the share name? I have never had to deal with a share that has spaces, but I know it can cause issues in numerous situations.

I personally would just change the share name and put say a "_" in the place of the space.
