Well, there was a time when the cmd prompt treated all
spaces as delimiters, so

would fail. Nowadays you can do that successfully and even

works.
In the old days, if a directory had a space, you had to
enclose it in quotes
>cd "My Documents"
But you didn't actually need to include the trailing quote,
so you could get away with
>cd "My Documents
I'm sure if you looked it up, Microsoft would say
This behaviour is by design.
