Question about 'Use Long Filenames in a DOS Window'

I have ME. The quoted so-called Fact about how to type long filenames at the Dos
Prompt, i.e. by typing cd My Documents, doesn't work. Does it work for anyone else,
if so how?

Try running cmd.exe rather than command.com. It works in XP.

That seems to be the key. Some reason, command.com won't let it work, while cmd.com
works excellently. Why I can't seem to find that mentioned anywhere but here, I
don't know.

I usually enclosed the path and filename in quotation marks i.e. " for example "c:\program
files\microsoft office" that should work pretty fine...
