("DOS" command line) Ending quote marks may not necessarily required - in many cases.
Windows, may not require an ending quote mark, only an opening, in many cases.

or , will list the directory name, "My Documents".
, will list the directory contents of "My Documents".
Doesn't work everywhere, & what a particular program requires may vary.
And kind of obvious, but for this to be of benefit, the directory (or file name) [with spaces] would need to be the final command line argument.
