Here is an alternative for Windows 10:
1. Create a file called init.cmd
and save it to your user folder
C:\Users\YourName\init.cmd
@echo off
doskey c=cls
doskey d=cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
doskey e=explorer $*
doskey jp=cd C:\John\Pictures
doskey l=dir /a $*
2. Register it to be applied automatically whenever cmd.exe
is executed
In the Command Prompt, run:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%"USERPROFILE"%\init.cmd" /f
3. Restart the Command Prompt
Now close/open the Command Prompt and the aliases will be available.
To unregister, run:
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun
doskey
and its macro feature...cd /d
instead of justcd
.
