Another option to save you a line, you can do E: && cd \MyData

Yet another option is to use the pushd command, which can change both drive and directory: pushd E:\ or pushd E:\mydata etc. (You can then later use the popd command to return to the original drive/directory.)

Simplify explanation. Provide additional information about what underpins the behavior.

Lots of fun stuff that's been forgotten. Related to this, a path of E:something.txt refers to a file in the current directory on E:, which may be different from the root :)

had a typo in example, where I showed the directory as `C:\` when it would in fact have been `C:\Users\jessy\`

Or just start using Powershell already where cd e:\ would work.

Minor correction: E:\> cd C:\Users\jessy actually changes the "current" directory on drive C: to \Users\jessy -- so even though you're still on drive E:, the following C: command would put you into C:\Users\jessy.
