title: Starting batch file command prompt from the directory location in which the batch file resides in
body: <p>I am writing a batch file that uses some of the files within it's parent directory (lets say Folder1).</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\User\Steve\Foder1\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I want to make the whole Folder_1 relocatable so that I can copy paste the folder anywhere on my/someone else's computer and run batch script.</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\User\Random_guy\Folder1\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The question is how do I start batch file's command prompt to (D:\User\Random_guy\Folder1) it's parent directory without writing another batch script to do that.</p>
