In NT how do you cd into my documents folder ?
I can see it in C:\WINNT\profiles\rrd but I have tried to cd into that folder trying cd My* cd My Doc* cd My Documents cd My_Documents but nothing works.

Help.... I'm a Unix guys and it's kicking my (_)_) ... heh
 
When you are in the C:\WINNT\profiles\rrd folder try
cd mydocu~1
 
Firstly, you need to be running a CMD prompt not a COMMAND prompt. Then, you can either:

CD MY DOCUMENTS

or

CD "MY DOCUMENTS"

or

do a DIR /X which will give you the short filename, then
CD MYDOCU~1

for example -----------------------------------------------------
"It's true, its damn true!"

Thanks.... Working like a charm.

Unix just seems too easy ;)
