Solve : Ridiculous CD command question?

1.	Solve : Ridiculous CD command question?
Answer» I've done a search and I cant find the answer to this seemingly simple question: How do you access a directory in DOS, when the directory name has a "Space" in it, or a "-" or any other random assortment of SYMBOL? I had to change the name of one directory via WINDOWS specifically because it had SPACES in it, and typing in CD and then the name with spaces included yielded an "Invalid Directory" message. Now I am trying to open a directory known as "J-Dizzle", and I cannot rename it because "access is denied" when I try! What the heck do I type in Dos to access that directory?? It is driving me absolutely off the deep end. Help would be greatly appreciated. :-?Quote I've done a search and I cant find the answer to this seemingly simple question: How do you access a directory in Dos, when the directory name has a "Space" in it, or a "-" or any other random assortment of symbol? you can put double quotes...eg cd "c:\A directory with space"
