How to run a PowerShell script in folder having space in its name?

Running a script in C:\Users\Ooker\Desktop is fine, but yields error in C:\Users\Ooker\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

I guess it's because of Start Menu have space in between, but I don't know how to double click the file and make it run. There seems to have no way to bracket the path beforehand.

I can run it in CLI, and it doesn't reference itself.

Few ways to do it.

Registry: Edit your reg key at 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\Shell\Open\Command

to 

"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -noLogo -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -file "%1"

or

Shortcut: Create a shortcut with the target:

powershell.exe -command "& 'C:\Users\Ooker\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\MyScript.ps1'"

keep in mind that the opening in a notepad is a safety measure in the event you accidentally run it when it is not intended.
