JJ,

My apologies. I thought you where referring to the origionals.   Also, with 
nothing said further, both #1 and #2 became unquoted in the end result, so I 
ruled them out.

I would be careful there: you've found one character that indcates that it 
was origionally quoted, but there are more ...

It certainly looks that way.

There seems to be a kind of solution using WMI though (not very clean):

The only other solution seems to be to add another object, just to 
encapsulate the GetCommandLine function (Kernel32).
