Feel silly asking this question, but can’t seem to change directory to Windows XP IE7. See below for what I have tried.

[root@localhost VirtualBox VMs]# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 4 justMe justMe 4096 Dec 19 07:20 Windows XP IE6
drwxr-xr-x 4 justMe justMe 4096 Dec 19 06:48 Windows XP IE7
[root@localhost VirtualBox VMs]# cd Windows XP IE6
-bash: cd: Windows: No such file or directory
[root@localhost VirtualBox VMs]# cd Win*
[root@localhost Windows XP IE6]# ls -l
total 3558896

    In Bash, you must quote command arguments that have whitespace in them.

    This is one reason why avoiding such whitespace is a good idea.

    You need:

    $ cd "Windows XP IE6"
