CD Command In DOS

CD [drive:][path]

CD[..]

EXAMPLES

cd

– Changes current directory to the highest level of the current drive (the root directory).

cd ..

– Goes up one directory. For example if you are within the

C:WINDOWSCOMMAND>

directory this would take you to

C:WINDOWS>
cd windows

– Changes to the

Windows

subdirectory of the current directory (if it exists).

Note: If you want to change to a different drive, CD will not switch to it. CD only changes directories in the current drive. To change drives, type the drive letter followed by a colon. i.e. cd d: will not switch to the d drive, but d: will switch drives.
