At the dos command prompt, does anyone remember how to make it recognize long file names? ie, windows long file names for folders, my documents, if i'm at the :> prompt and want to change to that directory, how do i make it skip the space? I've tried cd "my document" cd my\documents cd 'my documents' etc. ANyone remember this?

Use the ~ key.

cd Progra~1 will goto Program Files

It sounds like you are using a Command.com shell, Try using the cmd.com shell. (Start->Run->cmd)

(Or the other way around )

use the /x switch with `dir`.

This will give you the short filename that you can `cd` to.

First, type dir
then look at the list of files and directories displayed on the screen.

Then only type what ever appear on the screen.
maybe cd progra~1

It will apeears,
C:\Program Files\
that's for Dos
