I use command prompt to run my c++ compiler. when i enter command prompt, i type "cd.." until i get to the root C:\. when I type cd.. c++ to get into my folder with my files, i get "the system cannot find the specified path", just like i misspelled it or something. I cannot branch off into any folders at all from C:\. I can however compile the programs and run them from root C:\. This just happened the other day, it hasn't done anything like this since i started about 2 months ago.
