Quick question, I tried looking it up but can someone tell me how in the world Im supposed to change directories in MS-Dos that have spaces in it. Such as Program Files or My Documents.

I tried but couldnt figure it out, Im kind of new to this DOS thing. Thanx
 
Forget it, I figured it out.
 
to change folder you should type 'cd' command. for examle you're in the C:\, just type "cd program files" and you'll be in C:\Program Files. If you want to return to C:\ you should type "cd .."
 


Thats Great! walks

In XP and 2000, you can also "cd my*" and you will go to the first directory that begins with "my". That's one of the few positive features I've found in those OS's.
