Use spaces in command line?
 
suppose i was rummaging through an ntfs partition: how can i cd to Documents and Settings. It says: no such directory but i think its because it cant understand spaces.

Either put "Documents and Settings" in quote marks like I just did or escape the spaces with backslashes like: Documents\ and\ Settings
