How to add an executable file with a long path and spaces with a parameter to the system startup via CMD and reg.exe?

Question

Command line

There is a need to add an executable file with a long path and spaces with a parameter to the system startup via CMD and reg.exe. This can be done in the following way:

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "My Program" /t reg_sz /d "%ProgramFiles%\My Program\My Program.exe -parameter" /f

But this command will not work, because. the path is long with spaces and there is a passed parameter.
Here you need to add additional characters "\".
What is the correct way to do this by correcting the above command?
