VB6: Shell invalid arguments

I went through all related answers, but I still could not solve my problem.

I would like to shell the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\my application\application\bin\app.exe background

As one can see, there are spaces in the path, and there is an argument.

I tried just anything I could image regarding quotes, but I just don't find the right escaping.

Could anybody help?

Thank you very much!

Quote the path and stick the argument on the end:

ret = shell("""C:\Program Files (x86)\my application\application\bin\app.exe"" background", vbNormalFocus)
