Use dir/x to find the short name of the documents and settings directory, like docume~1 and use that instead of the long name.

You may also want to try single-quotes ' around the path.

C:\>sqlldr hr/hr control='C:\Documents and Settings\Maddy1\Desktop\bookshelf.ctl'

You should only need to use one or the other, either the shorter name or single quotes, although both should work as well. Did you try it with the longer name and single quotes? Did you use dir/x on your operating system to find the short name? Docume~1 was just an example and it may be different on your system. It is usually the first 6 characters followed by a tilde followed by a number. If there are three such directories that start with the same letters Docume, then they would end in ~1 and ~2 and ~3. The operating system user must also have sufficient access to read and write to the file and directories.

Alternatively cd into the folder where bookshelf.ctl exists before invoking sqlldr control=bookshelf.ctl

As Anacedant says, please check the filename.extension.
Most common mistake (when using notepad in windows) is the file would have been saved as 'bookshelf.ctl.txt' instead of 'bookshelf.ctl'.
