People, my English is not very well.
I am from Brazil!
I have two HDs. Disk C:\ and disk D:\
I open the command prompt. It is in c:\users\julian>
When I digit: cd d:\backup
The prompt return in c:\users\julian
After that, I digit only d:
Than the prompt go to d:\backup
But it is crazy! It as not so.
Can be environment variable?
Thanks
If you are on the C: drive, you cannot switch drives and folders at the same time as in cd d:\backup, you need to switch drives first with D: then cd \backup as you discovered.
Actually, back in the days of FredFlintstone computing with DOS 3.3/DOS 4 and Windows 3.1, a utility called cdd let you do just that - specifiy drive and directory :) [if my memory serves me correctly]
It's a simple matter to write a batch file to do that:
Save the above as cdd.bat.Code:@echo off IF %1. == . goto USAGE %1 cd %2 goto XIT :USAGE ECHO Usage: CDD drive path ie CDD D: \Backup :XIT
I tested like strollin said.
He is right!
First I switch drive and after the directory.
Thanks all.
