I'm trying to get to a folder on my COMPUTER via MS-DOS Command Prompt as I am trying to use a game cheat and that is the only way to do it. How do I get to this folder in command prompt so I can excecute the cheat?At the command prompt type the PATH of the folder/file you want and HIT Enter.  e.g.

c:\mydocu~1\username\games\cheatme.exe

use cd and cd\ and dir to get around

For example,

dir what's in the current directory
dir/p displayes in several pages, for when you have lots of files
cd windows takes you to the windows folder, if it's at your current directory. However if you're in say your documents folder, you will need to use cd\ to "backup"

Once you've found the file enter its name

For example

cheat.exe

Also note that in DOS, you need to obey a special naming rule. Directorys can have 8 letters max and files 8 letters plus 3 for extantion. No spaces. For example, to get to program files from c:, you type

cd progra~1 the ~1 means that extra letters were REMOVED. It will usually be ~1, sometimes other numbers.

To change drivers, type x: eg a: for floppy.

Hope this helps. For most commands you can add /? for help.

cd /?i created a folder to put in various exe and bat files, called newdir

i added that folder to my autoexec.bat file's path

(another way is to type
    path >rp.bat
   then edit the  rp.bat by adding   the path of your newdir)
when you want to use this path only on occassion
type and enter rp
[make sure the rp.bat is in a directory normally activated ]


then SIMPLY go to the place where you want to execute your cheat command and type whatever it is you need to activate it (probably cheat)

You could try replacing the game's shortcut with a batch file that loads the cheat, then runs the program.
