Instead of cd, use pushd, then it will also work on other drives than c: and even unc shares.

To make the admin status more visible, window title and window color can be set. Example: `cmd.exe /K title Elevated && color 1a && cd /D c:`

@ths pushd works for unc where cd doesn't, indeed. But your slight suggestion that cd won't change to other drives is incorrect, see cd /d (as you probably know).

cd /d still can't cover unc paths... so a moot point in fact
