Tried it doesn't work, gives me the following:

cp: copying multiple files, but last argument `User/qe0cqve6.slt' is not 
a directory

And when I do it on the command line I get this:

[mathieu@localhost nautilus-scripts]$ export win='/mnt/W2K/Documents\ 
and\ Settings/Mathieu\ Masse/Application\ Data/Mozilla/Profiles/Default\ 
User/qe0cqve6.slt'
[mathieu@localhost nautilus-scripts]$ cd $win
bash: cd: /mnt/W2K/Documents\: No such file or directory
[mathieu@localhost nautilus-scripts]$
