PUSHD

Change the current directory/folder and store the previous folder/path for use by the POPD command.

Syntax
      PUSHD pathname 
   
Key
   pathname - the folder to make 'current' (UNC names accepted)

Example

@Echo Off
Setlocal
Set _folder=%1
Pushd %_folder%
:: Now verify we really moved to the new folder
If /i not "%cd%"=="%_folder% (Echo folder not found &goto :eof)
Echo We are at %cd%
Popd
Echo We are back at %cd%

Networks
When a UNC path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive map and will then use that new drive.

Temporary drive letters are allocated in reverse alphabetical order
so if Z: is free it will be used.

If Command Extensions are disabled the PUSHD command will not accept a network (UNC) path.
