The set statement doesn t treat spaces the way you expect  your variable is really named Pathname space  and is equal to  space C  Program Files   Remove the spaces from both sides of the   sign  and put the value in double quotes   set Pathname  C  Program Files    Also  if your command prompt is not open to C    then using cd alone can t change drives    Use  cd  d  Pathname    or   pushd  Pathname    instead
