C# - How to change attribute of a folder which name is space character (" ")?

In C#, for changing attribute of folder, I use FileAttributes. Example:

myfolder= "C:\\Test Programs\\Avatar";
DirectoryInfo ss = new DirectoryInfo(myfolder);
ss.Attributes = FileAttributes.Normal;

--> Done! Attribute of Avatar is Normal.

But, with some folder which name are " ":

myfolder= "C:\\Test Programs\\ ";

My program doesn't throw any errors but attribute of that folder isn't change. What can i do?

(some viruses created a hidden folder with name is " " and moved all data on usb flash disk into it. I want to remove hidden attribute of that folder)

My English grammar isn't good. Sorry about that!

Done!. I added "\\" into myfolder. With folder Avatar --> myfolder= "C:\\Test Programs\\Avatar\\";

With folder which name is " " --> myfolder= "C:\\Test Programs\\ \\";

And my program set Attribute of that folder to Normal.

Thanks every one!.

Try adding + System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(@" ") +"\\" to the end of your directory name instead of the space.

Your string will look like this: myfolder= "C:\\Test Programs\\ " + System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(@" ") + "\\";
