Nope. It's not necessary. Just remember that the enclosing double-quotes are always a part of Windows long filenames. When the the sytem processes the string expression offered as an
argument, it takes only the textual content, and strips the quuotes. Enclose the whole string, including double-quotes, in single quotes. If you have to do variable intepolation, into the
filename, use the dot conactenation operator instead of implicit conactenation. Keep the quote characters at the beginining and end of the string in its entirelty, though.
