Barlop is correct. If you add /k cd "\path\to\folder"
to the Target field (after cmd.exe
), the resultant Command Prompt window will execute the cd
command and then leave you with a prompt to do with as you please. If you need to change to a different drive, you'll need cd /d
rather than just cd
. If you need to change to a network drive, use pushd
instead - it automatically mounts the target UNC path as a drive and changes to it.
The /k
switch to cmd
means "do this command and keep the prompt open." Everything after the /k
is treated as a literal command, so you don't have to worry about escaping. You can use &&
to execute multiple commands: cd "\path\to\folder" && echo Hi!
will produce a prompt in that directory with Hi!
printed at the top.
The equivalent of /k
that doesn't keep the prompt around is /c
(for "execute this command").
