The Executable Path is

\SystemRoot\C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

And the full error I receive is..

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ISC) serve on Local Computer

Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

The directory and filename are fine, i don't exactly know how to check volume label (or know what it is) though. Not sure what caused this, I don't use Windows Firewall but I wanted to turn it on just to check some things.

That is incorrect. Have you manipulated your services by hand?

Nothing should specify both a variable that returns a path and an absolute path.

The actual, proper pathing for this, with C:\Windows as Windows root, would be:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

%systemroot% will point to the directory that Explorer.exe resides in, typically C:\Windows

And "C:\Windows\C:\Windows ... " is not a proper path
