My mistake. The below (cd "c:\documents...etc) won't work from another
drive.

Try...

c: <enter>
cd "documents and settings\%username%\my documents" <enter>

You must change to the drive first.

Thanks in advance.

When I go to a command prompt and I want to change the directory to "My
Documents" what is the command?

I tried:
cd\ c:\docume~1\dave\my doc~1
cd\ c:\docume~1\dave\my_doc~1
cd\ c:\docume~1\dave\mydocu~1

Just to mention a few. I feel like I need to be dope slapped,
