I have a folder named Protel in Windows 98. I can normally browse it using windows explorer but when I try command

cd protel

from command prompt it say Access is Denied

I know windows 98 has only FAT file system so how is the protection of that folder working

update:

I have installed sp3. this problem only happen when I use run>cmd but it work fine with run>command

Maybe there's some non-printable character in folder's name or an unbreakable space. Try using Tab to autocomplete folder name: type cd Pro and press Tab. Windows should autocomplete folder name correctly.

You can try to rename that folder, maybe it will work then.

    Autocomplete did not exist in the commandprompt in windows 98. If my memory is correct it was first introduced in windows 2000 and had to be enabled through a registry key.

  • I have installed sp3 of 98 so tab is working but still coming up as access is denied.

  • It is service pack 3 (unofficial). When I used command on RUN it works but It does not works in CMD
