In windows (7 & 8+) under file explorer, special Windows directories shows as really special, "Documents", "Downloads", etc, without any parent director, making it hard for people to figure out from that where they actually is. And make it hard to use such directories under DOS too:

C:\>cd Documents
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\>cd \Documents
The system cannot find the path specified.

For such special Windows directories, in there any generic ways to cd into them under DOS, without specifically using my windows ID (c:\user\MyID)?

You could use the USERPROFILE environment variable like:

cd "%USERPROFILE%"\Documents
