ANSWER 1

Score 45

You need to surround the path in double quotes if there is a space in the path!

cd "C:\Program Files"

ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 16

Type cd c:\ . Now press the tab key (this is auto-complete, which will save you a lot of typing) repeatedly until it shows you a directory with spaces in the name. Notice how it delimits the path with apostrophes '. Use the same character when you're typing.

Edit: Make sure to use an apostrophe, not a backtick.

ANSWER 3

You can also use the ProgramFiles environment variable

cd $env:ProgramFiles

ANSWER 4

Score 5

Try this

C:\>cd "Program Files"

This will work.
