| Displays the name of or changes the current directory.
CHDIR [/D] [drive:][path]
| |
| .. | Specifies that you want to change to the parent directory. |
| Type CD drive: to display the current directory in the specified drive. Type CD without parameters to display the current drive and directory. |
|
| Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to changing current directory for a drive. |
|
| If Command Extensions are enabled CHDIR changes as follows: | |
| The current directory string is converted to use the same case as the on disk names. So CD C:\TEMP would actually set the current directory to C:\Temp if that is the case on disk. | |
| CHDIR command does not treat spaces as delimiters, so it is possible to CD into a subdirectory name that contains a space without surrounding the name with quotes. For example: | |
| cd \winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu | |
| is the same as: | |
| cd "\winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu" | |
| which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled. | |
