[texworks] Missing TexWorks folder when installed with MikTex 2.8

[Bruce Allison]

Hello Bruno, 
You are right.  The spaces in the file name were the problem.  I changed
C:\Documents and Settings\Bruce\My Documents\Practice TexWorks.tex  to 
C:\Documents and Settings\Bruce\My Documents\PracticeTexWorks.tex 
and now SyncTexing works fine.
I hadn't thought of this since the tex file was compiling without apparent
problem and since I had not had any problems using WinEdt with spaces in the
file name. 
Thanks.
Bruce Allison

Aren't spaces in the source file name a problem? I'am surprised LaTeX at all
can process your file. Or are you using plain TeX?

There are TeX implementations on the Mac that can process a plain TeX file
with spaces in its name, but I thought with LaTeX that was inherently
impossible (because of all the ancillary files -- .aux files etc -- that
LaTeX needs to generate and read).

I wouldn't be surprised that SyncTeX doesn't like spaces either.
