CDX and it companion program CDL are command line utilities to help with navigating through the folder structure of a disk with long filenames. The install program will copy both CDX.COM and CDL.EXE to the directory you specify, but for the programs to work this must be a folder in your path. I recommend creating a special folder for command line tools such as these, and adding that folder to your path, but if you don't know how to do this, then you can install in the "Windows" folder, the "Windows\Sysem32" folder, or the "Windows\Command" folder, depending on which exist on your system. To uninstall use the Control Panel "Add or Remove Programs".
Then open a Command Prompt (DOS or MSDOS Prompt) window, and type CDX. Navigate to the required folder using the arrow keys, and press Enter to select, or Esc to abort.

CDX is actually a 16 bit DOS program, and was made with The MoonRock Basic Compiler. When run, it automatically starts CDL which is a BCX 32 bit Windows Console program, and it provides the log filename interface for navigating to a new folder. Once CDL terminates, the selected folder is passed back to CDX which changes directory. Two programs are required for this simple task because Windows starts a Win32 console programs in a fresh copy of the command interpreter, and when the application quits, the command interpreter quits, and the current folder is lost. Pure DOS programs and batch files are launched in the current command interpreter. Did I explain this clearly? Never mind, check out the program.
To compile CDL for Lcc-Win32 use the included batch file, or for PellesC and DevPro users, compile from your Programming Editor. To compile CDX you will need to find a copy of the MoonRock Basic compiler (Version 0.5, as in half finished!). Copy CDX.MOO into the same folder as MRC.EXE. Extract ASM.EXE from ARROWASM.ZIP and also put it in the same folder. Then type MRC CDX.MOO to compile. If you put the files in different folders, the include paths have to be adjusted.
