Microsoft DOS pushd command

Syntax

Stores the current directory for use by the POPD command, then changes to the specified directory.

PUSHD [path | ..]

path specifies the directory to make the current directory.

If Command Extensions are enabled the PUSHD command accepts network paths in addition to the normal drive letter and path. If a network path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive letter that points to that specified network resource and then change the current drive and directory, using the newly defined drive letter. Temporary drive letters are allocated from Z: on down, using the first unused drive letter found.

Examples

pushd ..

If this command was typed when you were at C:\Windows\System32 directory, for example, this directory would be stored. If you then wanted to return back to this directory you would use the POPD command.
