<p>Im searching a tool which allows me to specify some folders as "bookmarks" and than access them on the commandline (on Windows XP) via a keyword. Something like:</p>

<pre><code>C:\&gt; go home
D:\profiles\user\home\&gt; go svn-project1
D:\projects\project1\svn\branch\src\&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I'm currently using a bunch of batch files, but editing them by hand is a daunting task. On Linux there is <a href="http://www.skamphausen.de/software/cdargs/" rel="noreferrer">cdargs</a> or <a href="http://kore-nordmann.de/blog/shell_bookmarks.html" rel="noreferrer">shell bookmarks</a> but I haven't found something on windows.</p>

<p>Thanks for the Powershell suggestion, but I'm not allowed to install it on my box at work, so it should be a  "classic" cmd.exe solution.</p>

With PowerShell you could add the folders as variables in your profile.ps1 file, like:
```
```
$vids="C:\Users\mabster\Videos"
```
```
Then, like Unix, you can just refer to the variables in your commands:
```
```
cd $vids
```
```
Having a list of variable assignments in the one ps1 file is probably easier than maintaining separate batch files.
