title: How do I execute cmd commands through a batch file?
body: <p>I want to write a batch file that will do following things in given order:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open cmd</li>
  <li>Run cmd command <code>cd c:\Program files\IIS Express</code></li>
  <li>Run cmd command <code>iisexpress /path:"C:\FormsAdmin.Site" /port:8088 /clr:v2.0</code></li>
  <li>Open <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8">Internet&nbsp;Explorer&nbsp;8</a> with URL= <code>http://localhost:8088/default.aspx</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Note: The cmd window should not be closed after executing the commands.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <strong>start cmd.exe /k "cd\ &amp; cd ProgramFiles\IIS Express"</strong>, but it is not solving my purpose.</p>
