@Berteig, that feature is recent in the history of Dos and Windows. It isn't in any version of COMMAND.COM, for example Also, the OP wasn’t using DOS, the question is about Windows 7, so the history of CD was irrelevant here; that switch was available.

Fixed grammar and code-ified the commands.

It’s not that recent; it’s in at least W2K. Regardless, the question is about Windows 7, so command.com is irrelevant and the /d switch is definitely there.

My shaky recollection is that it wasn't in the earliest CMD.EXE from NT 3.1 either, but I can't put my hands on documentation to prove that easily right now. | |

> CD stands for change directory, which is not what you want to to. Except that in Windows, the CD command does have an option to change drive.
