The solution is to use pushd instead of cd to change the current directory to a share accessed via a UNC path (e.g.: >pushd \\myserver\myshare).
Use popd when done.

Thanks you! Simplest answer to my question! That is all I needed.
Thanks so much. That worked beautifully! It replaced some the first part with Q:. I wonder if I had that assigned already if if it found the first available and mapped it.
No need to tell me, i will research it.
Thanks,
excellent answer
Thanks!
But now I get:
“A device attached to the system is not functioning.” It works in explorer… hmm…
Nice! Glad to see that someone knows what they are doing. Give yourself a gold star and a pat on the back.

THanks for the quick fix to my problem!
Wonderful, just wonderful! I was struggling for about an hour to accomplish the same thing but using the ‘cd’ command instead. But you made things much easier.
Thanks. Exactly what I needed & was the 1st thing that popped up off google.

You can also use commandline :
Explorer \\servername\foldername\foldername
this won’t map the drive though..

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. My setup was I am using VMWare to use Windows 7 on my Mac and was looking for a way to change directories into my Mac’s home directory, which VMware made available to me as an alias on my Desktop… and which browses fine in Windows Explorer, but couldn’t be “cd’ed to” in cmd.exe.
That worked like a charm!!! Thanks!
