Displays the name of the current directory or changes the current directory. If used with only a drive letter (for example, cd C:), cd displays the names of the current directory in the specified drive. If used without parameters, cd displays the current drive and directory. NOTE: This command is the same as the chdir command. If command extensions are enabled, the following conditions apply to the cd command: - The current directory string is converted to use the same case as the names on the disk. For example, cd c:\temp would set the current directory to C:\Temp if that is the case on the disk. - Spaces aren't treated as delimiters, so <path> can contain spaces without enclosing quotation marks. For example: is the same as: If extensions are disabled, the quotation marks are required. - To disable command extensions, type:

cd [/d] [<drive>:][<path>]
cd [..]
chdir [/d] [<drive>:][<path>]
chdir [..]
