    How to "cd" to a dir with cyrillic/russian folder name?


    I have an english Win7 Home Premium.
    On my system I have a sub-sub-dir with cyrillic folder name.

    How can I change into this folder in CommandPrompt?

    When I copy the full path from WinExplorer and type/paste it in CommandPrompt like:

    D:\tmp>cd "D:\data\??????????"

    then this is not possible because the cyrillic chars are replaced by "?" and CommandPrompt Win7 does not recognize the folder.

    How else can I get into such a folder?

    Can you rename the folder to an English name?

    In the command prompt just type CD and press <TAB> repeatedly till you get the folder name.
