DOS Command Help

What's the command that takes you back to root so it looks like this?:

C:\>

I forgot. :/

cd..

[soundtest]

Isn't it:

cd \

I think cd.. just brings you up one directory from the current. I haven't used DOS for years though, so what do I know. UNIX FTW!!1

[Fathom Zero]

Yeah, that's right. Thanks!

[soundtest]

That's to go up a directory in *nix.

christ you people are young

Why? Because nobody remembers shitty DOS commands?

[executioneer]

yes

C: (that alone will bring you back to root C )

otherwise you could be going
cd .. cd .. cd .. cd ..

cd ...
i don't remember but i think the amount of dots you use is for the amount of folders you want to go up. I could be making that up though.

cd\ takes you to the root directory for the drive you're on.

cd.. takes you up one level in the current path.

cd ..\.. would take you up two levels, etc.

Typing C: while you're in c:\windows would do nothing since you're already on C:
