Thanks for responding. I need to cd into that dir.

cd my~1 doesn't work. Answer would be great. KB article explaning would be
greater. Thanks for your time.

I guess you're asking what the DOS 8.3 filename would be?

MYFOLD~1.01

You can look up the info yourself using the properties for the folder,
or by using dir /x which will list 8.3 format filenames.

You're still speaking in riddles. This might help if you
want to change folders:

cd /d "c:\my~1"

Maybe what you wanted was
Wrap strings with embedded space in double-quote charaters.
