The &quot;cd&quot; command changes the directory, but not what drive you are working with. So when you go &quot;cd d:\temp&quot;, you are changing the D drive&#39;s directory to temp, but staying in the C drive.

Execute these two commands:

    D:
    cd temp

That will get you the results you want.

Another alternative is `pushd`, which will automatically switch drives as needed. It also allows you to return to the previous directory via `popd`:

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;C:\Temp&amp;gt;&lt;b&gt;pushd D:\some\folder&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
D:\some\folder&amp;gt;&lt;b&gt;popd&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
C:\Temp&amp;gt;_&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

`cd` has a parameter `/d`, which will change drive and path with one command:

    cd /d d:\temp

( see `cd /?`)

Just type your desired drive initial in the command line and press enter

Like if you want to go L:\\\ drive,
Just type `L: or l:` 

You can try this it works for me 

    C:\Users\user&gt;cd..
    C:\Users&gt;cd ..
    C:\&gt;D:
    D:\&gt;cd \foldername

You can use these three commands:
1.cd.. 2.d: 3.cd temp

I&#39;m using the svg circles in my project like this,

    &lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 160 120&quot;&gt;
        &lt;g&gt;
            &lt;g id=&quot;one&quot;&gt;
                &lt;circle fill=&quot;green&quot; cx=&quot;100&quot; cy=&quot;105&quot; r=&quot;20&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;/g&gt;
            &lt;g id=&quot;two&quot;&gt;
                &lt;circle fill=&quot;orange&quot; cx=&quot;100&quot; cy=&quot;95&quot; r=&quot;20&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;/g&gt;
        &lt;/g&gt;
    &lt;/svg&gt;

And I&#39;m using the z-index in the `g` tag to show the elements the first. In my project I need to use only z-index value, but I can&#39;t use the z-index to my svg elements. I have googled a lot but I didn&#39;t find anything relatively.
So please help me to use z-index in my svg.

Here is the [DEMO.][1]

Is it possible to create a table without a header in Markdown?

The HTML would look like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-htm --&gt;

    &lt;table&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;Key 1&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;Value 1&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;Key 2&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;Value 2&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;

I&#39;m using `cmd.exe` (C:\\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe) and I have to change my current directory to &quot;D:\temp&quot; i.e. temp folder in the D drive.

When I try to `cd` nothing happens.

    C:\&gt; cd D:\temp
    
    C:\&gt;

I don&#39;t know what else to do here. Even pressing `tab` key does not give any hints. I have never got the reason to use cmd.exe until now when I have to. I mostly use Linux for development.

If this helps: I&#39;m on a remote login to another computer and `D:\temp` in on the remote machine, but so is `C:\` where I have opened the terminal (cmd.exe).

For example, I can copy a file to the clipboard like this:

    clip &lt; file.txt

(Now the contents of `file.txt` is in the clipboard.)

How can I do the opposite:

    ???? &gt; file.txt

So that the contents of the clipboard will be in `file.txt`?

How can you get the clipboard contents with a Windows command?

I ran a program on Windows 7 that was compiled under Cygwin and passed &quot;NUL&quot; as an output file name. Instead of suppressing output it actually created a file named &quot;NUL&quot; in the current directory. (Apparently it expects &quot;/dev/null&quot;, even on Windows.) Now I&#39;m stuck with this &quot;NUL&quot; file that I cannot delete!

I&#39;ve already tried:

 - Windows Explorer - error: &quot;Invalid MS-DOS function&quot; (yes, that is seriously what it says!)
 - Command prompt using &quot;del NUL&quot; - error: &quot;The filename, directory name, or volume
   label syntax is incorrect.&quot;
 - Deleting the entire directory - same deal as just deleting the file
 - `remove()` in a C program - also fails

How can I get rid of these NUL files (I have several by now), short of installing the full Cygwin environment and compiling a C program under Cygwin to do it?

How to pass dictionary as command line argument to Python script?

I have a bat file like this:

    ipconfig

That will print out the IP info to the screen, but before the user can read that info CMD closes itself.

I believe that CMD assumes the script has finished, so it closes.

How do I keep CMD open after the script is finished?

I have added `notepad++.exe` to my Path in Environment variables. 

Now in command prompt, `notepad++.exe filename.txt` opens the `filename.txt`. But I want to do just `np filename.txt` to open the file. 

I tried using `DOSKEY np=notepad++`. But it is just bringing to the forefront an already opened notepad++ without opening the file. How can I make it open the file? 

Thanks.
