Let s dissect it  There are three parts    cd -- This is change directory command   d -- This switch makes cd change both drive and directory at once  Without it you would have to do cd   d0  amp  cd   p0     d0 Changs active drive  cd   p0 change the directory     dp0 -- This can be dissected further into three parts     0 -- This represents zeroth parameter of your batch script  It expands into the name of the batch file itself    0 -- The   there strips double quotes     around the expanded argument   dp0 -- The d and p there are modifiers of the expansion  The d forces addition of a drive letter and the p adds full path
