turned on by setting the registry value shown below:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command

Why Do not change Directory Write cd D:\ in cmd?
- When you enter the command "cd D:"
in the Command Prompt on Windows, it should change the current Directory
to the root directory of the D: drive. However, if the command does not
work, there could be a few reasons why:
- The D: Drive may not be accessible or exist on your system.
- The D: Drive may be used by another program or process, preventing you from accessing it.
- The command prompt may not have the necessary permissions to access the D: Drive.
How do you Change one Drive To another Drive using Cd Commands on CMD?
- Syntex:- cd /D (Drive Letter)
- Example: cd /D E:\
- Result :- E:\>
Easy Way To Change

Make Directories. That is also known as creating directories or folders.

[Directories/folders Name] also, you can add a path with a folder Name.

Naming Restrictions
Commas (,), Semicolon (;), Equals (=), Space ( ) and Tab (
) can be used in a folder's name, but they must be enclosed in double quotation
marks.
Example
MD "Test Test2" will create a folder
called 'Test Test2',
MD Test=Test2 will
create two folders, 'Test' and 'Test2' {If you do not use invited coma(“ ”)
hare created two folders}.
Do not use:
Try to avoid to spatial characters in
folder names; they are problems when scripting: ©, ®, ", &, ', ^, @.
Note:- The maximum
length of the full pathname (folders Name + filename) is 260 characters; this
is a limitation of Windows Explorer but not NTFS.
You cannot create a folders Name with the same name as any
following devices used: CON, PRN, LPT1, LPT2 to LPT9, COM1, COM2 to COM9, but
