Editing Cd (command) (section)

=== Legacy Microsoft shells ===
DOS maintains separate working directories for each [[Drive letter assignment|lettered drive]], and also has the concept of a current working drive. The {{code|cd}} command can be used to change the working directory of the working drive or another lettered drive. Typing the drive letter as a command on its own changes the working drive, e.g. {{code|C:}}; alternatively, {{code|cd}} with the {{code|/d}} switch may be used to change the working drive and that drive's working directory in one step.
Modern versions of Windows simulate this behaviour for backwards compatibility under [[CMD.EXE]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/2010/10/11|title=October 11, 2010|website=The Old New Thing}}</ref>
