In this article, lets learn a shortcut to open Command Prompt pointing to a folder from a Windows OS machine.

Regular Approach:
  • To open a folder from a different drive than C, we use the following approach to point to the folder.
  • Above example, I am pointing the Command Prompt to “D:\E\Practice\S2S\packages\Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.PluginRegistrationTool.9.1.0.24\tools” folder using ‘cd’ command.
