How to call a .bat file from any location in CMD on Windows

Question

I have a Batch file which I want to execute in CMD from any directory. Something like this:

File name: MyBatch

Path: C:\MyBatch.bat

Open CMD: c:\Program Files> MyBatch

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Set that location in your PATH environmental variable.

I wouldn't put it the root or the system directory.

I keep a directory with all my scripts in C:\DRR\CMD

and either set it in the MyComputer GUI or run at the command script:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\DRR\CMD
