    I am trying to go from C:\Users\Aubri> to C:\Users\Aubri\Desktop> using "cd Desktop" or "cd desktop"

    however I get the error message saying the system cannot find the path specified. I'm not sure why this is, I can use cd .. and go back to a parent directory, but cannot move to the desktop form the user directory. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    "Desktop" is not necessarily ion that location on most systems.

    To get the desktop locations use the command:

    [environment]::GetFolderPath([System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::Desktop)
