Hi,
Start-Process is only available in PowerShell Community Extensions, unfortunately, these extensions are not available in our office...
A good link about processes and powershell :
'Windows PowerShell Blog : Managing Processes in PowerShell' (http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/01/16/managing-processe...)

Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué ?!

If you don't have Start-Process you could still try using
[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($your_command)

Not to be old fashioned, but I use the Short Path name in these cases.
You can find them by doing this:
dir *. /x
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is 66AB-C4DB
Directory of C:\
04/18/2007 04:37 PM <DIR> ATI
04/07/2007 12:53 PM <DIR> DELL
04/02/2007 01:36 PM <DIR> doctemp
04/02/2007 01:36 PM <DIR> Drivers
06/20/2009 11:54 AM <DIR> ISO
06/16/2007 11:46 PM <DIR> PHOTOS~1 Photoshop 7
06/21/2009 01:29 PM <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files
<-----
07/17/2009 09:01 AM <DIR> PSTools
07/12/2009 08:43 PM <DIR> Scripts
09/15/2007 07:07 PM <DIR> STARTM~1 Start Menu
06/28/2009 05:28 PM <DIR> Temp
04/07/2007 12:25 PM <DIR> Users
07/01/2009 05:41 PM <DIR> Windows
Then this: dir "Program Files" /x
Which shows you this:
07/29/2009 03:07 AM <DIR> INTERN~1 Internet Explorer
<----
So your command line looks like this:
"c:\Progra~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe"
Works for me.
