START /DESKTOP="name with space" ...

START /DESKTOP=... is working now but not when there's a space in the desktop name.

Why would you do that?

... because Windows (and DESKTOP /C) lets me do it. Like it or not (and I don't) long names are a fact of like and many users do like them.

Nearly every command and variable function in TCC handles parameters with spaces, most of the time by simply requiring quoting. The name of a desktop seems akin to the name of a file or of a folder.

START /DESKTOP="Desk 1"

just seem like normal procedure.

P.S. The restrictions of desktop names are about as lax as they get. From MSDN,

Desktop names are case-insensitive and may not contain backslash characters (\).
