Command Prompt Error when entered the command to access directory

I open cmd C:\Users\Anonymous>

When I try to access something, it shows:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox is not Recognized as Internal or External command,
operable program or Batch file

enter image description here

Earlier, the path environment variable was empty so I put in

Path

Need Fix!

you're just writing a path into command line. I guess you want to navigate to specific folder. In that case you should use command CD (Change Directory) like this:

cd \

(used to navigate to root of your c: drive)

cd "Program Files"

(navigate into "Program Files" folder)

cd Oracle

(go into Oracle folder)

etc...

Alternatively, you can write all that in single CD command 

cd "\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"

To summarize: You're making a mistake by not using any command (hence the error (...)is not Recognized as Internal or External). CD is command, "c:\Program Files" is path, a parameter for CD command.
