The equivalent for me (cd /c/"Program Files") works as your expecting though
I normally wouldn't quote part of a path. I'm using cygwin 1.3.9-1 and
WinXP.
Try cutting and pasting the exact text from the session that shows the

You've certainly given people something to blame until you can prove
differently. It's not a good idea to 'just copy' individual files.
