Batch file to map a drive when the folder name contains spaces

Question

I am trying to map a drive using a batch file  I have tried   net use m    Server01 myfolder  USER mynetwork Administrator  Mypassword   persistent yes   It works fine  The problem comes when I try to map a folder with spaces on its name   net use m    Server01 my folder  USER mynetwork Administrator  Mypassword   persistent yes   I have tried using quotes  using myfold 1 but nothing works   An easy way would be renaming the folder but I have it mapped in more than 300 workstations so is not a very good idea
