ok i spent some frustrating time with this problem too. My little guide.
Open desktop for example. If you didnt switch your disc in cmd, type:
cd desktop
Now if you want to display subfolders:
cd, make 1 spacebar, and press tab 2 times
Now if you want to enter directory/file with SPACE IN NAME. Lets open some file name f.g., to open it we need to type:
cd file\ name
p.s. notice this space after slash :)
