help with shell.run path

[vanvb]

Can anyone help me out with what is wrong with this:

function manage(strComputer) 
{
   var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
   Shell.run("\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mmc.exe C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\compmgmt.msc \/computer:" & strComputer & "\"");
}

I can use the function below and it works, but I am having trouble with the escape characters and quotes because the above function is giving me a "system cannot find the file specified" error.

function manage(strComputer) 
{
   var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
   Shell.run("c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe");
}

Thanks for the help!

I found the problem. It appears that my variable strComputer that I was passing into my function was being interpreted as an integer...not text...so when I made it part of the command it turned the value of the whole line to 0. I concatenated "" to it to turn it into a string before using it and that fixed things.

var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
var strCMD = "c:\\windows/system32/mmc.exe";
strCMD += " c:\\windows/system32/compmgmt.msc";
strCMD += " /computer:";
strComputer += "";
strCMD += strComputer;
Shell.Run(strCMD);
