Once you activate the DOS mode (command prompt) in Windows XP, a new window will come up. Go to Start -> Run -> type in "cmd". You will be starting in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name>_
If you want to go to the desktop, type in:
"cd desktop"
Once you are in the desktop directory, you may want to open a folder with a long name that you can't really remember. There's a way to find out the folder's name without using the "dir" command.
Simply type "cd" + space and press the TAB key on your keyboard. The names of all folders currently on your desktop will be listed one by one, as you keep pressing the TAB key.
Here's a example:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name>Desktop>cd "EarthV.COM"
When you find the desired directory, press enter.
Now you are in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name>Desktop>EarthV.COM>_
