Unable to run commands from VBScript 1

[JustScriptIt]

I am following the tutorial on this page

http://ss64.com/vb/run.html

When I run the following from a command prompt

Option Explicit

Dim WshShell, objShell

' Launch Notepad with the current executed script:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("%windir%\notepad" & WScript.ScriptFullName)

' Launch Notepad with the current executed script, specify the
' window type, wait for Notepad to be shut down by the user,
' and save the error code returned from Notepad when it exits:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, true)

'Open a cmd window, change the path to C:\ , and execute the DIR command:

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")
objShell.run "cmd /K CD C:\ & Dir"
Set objShell = Nothing

I get the following error:

open_notepad.vbs(8, 1) (null): The system cannot find the file specified.

Why is this happening?

Replace this:
WshShell.Run ("%windir%\notepad" & WScript.ScriptFullName)
with this:
WshShell.Run "%windir%\notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName

Note the missing space

Hope This Helps, PH.
