Cannot cd to a folder with spaces in the the folder path

Solution 1:

Type cd c:\ . Now press the tab key (this is auto-complete, which will save you a lot of typing) repeatedly until it shows you a directory with spaces in the name. Notice how it delimits the path with apostrophes '. Use the same character when you're typing.

Edit: Make sure to use an apostrophe, not a backtick.

Solution 2:

You need to surround the path in double quotes if there is a space in the path!

cd "C:\Program Files"

Solution 3:

You can also use the ProgramFiles environment variable

cd $env:ProgramFiles
