on error resume next

nice.run "cmd.exe"

wscript.sleep 400

nice.sendkeys "cd C:\Users\Annamaria.Mikecz01\Desktop\CENT-ERIKA-GUI"

Special folders - VBScript - SS64.com[^]

So:

Dim folderPath
folderPath = nice.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
folderPath = folderPath & "\CENT-ERIKA-GUI"

nice.SendKeys "cd "
nice.SendKeys folderPath
nice.SendKeys "{enter}"

However, it's not a good idea to rely on SendKeys. If you're just trying to open a file in its associated application, use the Run method instead.

Dim nice
Dim filePath

Set nice = Wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
filePath = nice.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
filePath = filePath & "\CENT-ERIKA-GUI\capture.jpg"

nice.Run filePath
