Changing directory in command prompt

I need to execute a command line program in a specific folder. I have used
Start, Run to open a command prompt but am having trouble using CD to change
to the proper folder. The problem is that the path includes spaces. Thus

CD program files

does not work nor does

CD "program files"

How can I get the command prompt to the proper folder?
