title: open command prompt window and change current working directory
body: <p>I'm terribly new to scripting on windows. Using windows 7 64.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to make a .bat file that I can double click, and have it open a command prompt and automatically <code>cd</code> me to a certain directory.</p>
  
  <p>I tried making a .bat file with</p>
  
  <pre><code>@ECHO OFF
  cmd "cd C:\my\destination"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which opens what looks like a command prompt, but doesn't seem to let me type any commands.</p>
  
  <p>I then tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@ECHO OFF
  start cmd "cd C:\my\destination"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this just sent me into a loop opening tons and tons of prompts until my computer crashed :) The .bat file was located in the destination directory if that matters.</p>
