Is there a free "smart CHDIR" command for the Windows 2000
command interpreter, that keeps a database of all directories
and allows you to go to C:\DOCUMENTS\LETTERS\MOM from anywhere
by typing "CD MOM"? I'm looking for something similar to
Norton CD under DOS/Windows 9x.

This isn't that, but I use M$ powertoy "Tweak UI" for windows9x/NT/2K and I
go to the Cmd tab and use filename completion. I use Tab for both.

Then I'd go at the cmd line (without the quotes): "c:\doc" | hit tab | it
would fill in DOCUMENTS | type "le" | hit tab etc..

This is a kewl built in tool to pretty quickly get to whatever I need.

Plus I use the "Command Prompt Here" powertoy so I can right-click a folder
in explorer and it will bring up a command prompt in that folder. Or if a
folder is open I can right click and select the same in the top left
"system" menu.

Apologies if this shows up twice...

Wherever Change Directory does what you want. I use or have used it on
DOS, Win95, Win2K, WinXP, UNIX, Linux...

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks also to Rach for his tips on command completion and the
Command Prompt Here shell extension. I already had both enabled,
but that's just not the same.
