To this date one needs to be careful with executing applications and spaces in the path.
For example:
D:\test>dir
...
08/10/2023 09:29 AM <DIR> .
08/10/2023 09:30 AM <DIR> Foo Bar
08/10/2023 09:35 AM 79 Foo.bat
...
D:\test>dir "Foo Bar"
...
08/10/2023 09:30 AM <DIR> .
08/10/2023 09:29 AM <DIR> ..
08/10/2023 09:35 AM 79 Foo.bat
...
D:\test>type Foo.bat
@echo off
echo Executable: %0
echo Path to executable: %~dp0
echo Params: %*
D:\test>type "Foo Bar\Foo.bat"
@echo off
echo Executable: %0
echo Path to executable: %~dp0
echo Params: %*
D:\test>Foo.bat hello
Executable: Foo.bat
Path to executable: D:\test\
Params: hello
D:\test>Foo Bar\Foo.bat hello
Executable: Foo
Path to executable: D:\test\
Params: Bar\Foo.bat hello
D:\test>"Foo Bar\Foo.bat" hello
Executable: "Foo Bar\Foo.bat"
Path to executable: D:\test\Foo Bar\
Params: hello
D:\test>
Mess up the quotes and you're executing something one level up.
