Hi, the title is not that clear, sorry. I want to access through my command prompt the Program Files in the windows partition. But when I type cd Program Files it only takes it as if I was writting cd Program and leaves out the Files part. I tried it with _ in betwee, don't work, how can I duplucate that darn space in the command promp????
Thanks

I think if you put the name of the folder between quotation marks it will accept it.

So do:

cd "Program Files"

That should work.

You can always use autocomplition like
cd /c/Prog [at this point hit tab key]
it will complete directory name like
cd /c/Program\ Files/
Or you can escape space with a \.
