Access a directory in Command prompt in XP...

[Akshay]

How do I access a directory with spaces in win Xp? E.g. How do I access e:\igi 2 - covert strike ? "cd igi~1" or "cd igi 2 - covert strike" does not work.

Umm, It works fine here

cd "Full name within quotes" should work...
eg:
c:\>cd "c:\Program files"

1. type cd & press Tab.
keep pressing tab & it'd iterate thru all the folders in the current dir.

2. Use reg-ex. so u could try cd e:\igi*

3. type cd at the command prompt,
open windows explorer to the required directory drag the address bar to the command prompt & it'd fill in the details.
note: sometimes you might have to change the drive to make this work
