You should first change drive, then issue the change directory command, namely:

d:
cd "\my folder\common"

or else

cd /d "D:\my folder\common"

You have to use double quotes (") since your folder name contains blanks.

You can't execute a jpg image from the command prompt. It needs to be an executable file.
In this case, the system thinks that you jpg file is a folder name.
