Frank 03/05/03	You can not use a space in the file name in dos. That is one reason I avoid 'space' in all my directory names. To solve the problem do a directory. dir In the list you will find a directory such as: docume~1 Then do a cd \docume~1
Help 03/05/03	than how do u go to desktop
Bob Hope 09/01/03	The correct syntax is cd "documents and settings" (and not "cd documents and settings") Frank's approach should work, as well. If you want to change to the desktop directory in one step, you can use cd "\documents and settings\xp user\desktop" (supposing you told us the correct path in your posting) Regards, Robert
