open command prompt window and change current working directory

Question

I\'m terribly new to scripting on windows. Using windows 7 64.

I\'m trying to make a .bat file that I can double click, and have it open a command prompt and automatical

Answer 1

This works for me:

@ECHO OFF
cmd.exe /K "cd C:\my\destination && C:"

The quoted string is actually two commands (separated by a double ampersand): The first command is to change to the specified directory, the second command is to change to the specified drive letter.

Put this in a batch (.BAT) file and when you execute it you should see a Command Prompt window at the specified directory.
