Email hyperlink with command line switch not working

[Webkins]

Here is the email code hyperlink contained in my MSSql2000 stored procedure which creates and sends an automated email:

Set @Text8 = '<a href="C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe /console">Click Here For Console Connection</a>'

The email hyperlink error error says it cannot find the file. The problem is with the /console switch. Without the text /console it works just fine. I have tried using the html encoding method as shown here with no success either. What am I doing wrong ?

Set @Text8 = '<a href="C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe%20%2fconsole">Click Here For Console Connection</a>'

In the Outlook 2007 email error message the text path appears as C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe\console or C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe%20%2fconsole

Email program is Outlook 2007. Thank you for any suggestions.
