Hey listen guys, if I type a word with &
for example: ILOVE&YOU, so it splits it:

C:\>ILOVE&YOU
'ILOVE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'YOU' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Anyone knows how can bypass this?
thanks, tte.

Set it under quotes.

e.g.

CODE

cd "ILOVE&YOU"
