To change from C:\ to C:\Windows, you just type "cd windows"
to change drive from c:\ to d:\, just type "d:"

if you're in C:\ and you want to go to C:\Incoming files\PES3, then you type:
cd Incoming Files\PES3
then just hit enter...

This tweak makes things much easier. Open a text file and input this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Command Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""
Then rename the file to a ".REG" file. To do that you must be able to see the file extension. This can be changed in the folder options.
Then merge it into the registry. Now you can right-click on any folder and you can open a command prompt window to that folder.

%L? shouldn't that be %1
EDIT:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]
@="Command &Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd %1"

WHY what's wrong with just copying using XP !!!
Don't forget to copy files Dos only sees 8 digits plus the "." extension,ie 1234abcd.exe.

I still use LIST too! It's it much easier for navigating directories than typing those long commands. I've had it since the old DOS-only days, and I always keep it every time I get a new OS.
