I figured I'd add this in case your only problem wasn't just changing to the 
directory. I downloaded and installed Octave on a windows machine recently. If 
I remember correctly there is a specific warning against installing in a 
directory with spaces in the path name. I installed in the root to avoid this ( 
C:\Octave ). It works fine. I think if you install in a path with spaces Octave 
has trouble finding all the installed packages.

In DOS, cd Desktop would work if the current working directory was
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>. In Octave, try

cd 'C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop'

If you want more help, you will need to specify some code for your
CTRL-C problem, and exactly what you are trying to set up.
