Console Aliases in Windows 10

To define a console alias, use Doskey.exe to create a macro, or use the AddConsoleAlias function.

doskey

doskey test=cd \a_very_long_path\test

To also pass parameters add $* at the end: doskey short=longname $*

AddConsoleAlias

AddConsoleAlias( TEXT("test"), 
                 TEXT("cd \\\\test"), 
                 TEXT("cmd.exe"));
