Using a .bat to change directories and run Jupyter

Question

I'm new to coding but I simply want to change directory and run jupyter. The problem is cmd instantly closes once it reaches the jupyter notebook command. Tried cmd /k too but it doesn't have an effect. I must being doing this wrong.

F:
cd directoryname
activate environmentname
jupyter notebook
pause

Solution: The commands were closing the prompt for some reason when executed in a .bat (they don't when typed). The fix was to type call before the commands.

F:
cd directoryname
call activate environmentname
call jupyter notebook
pause

Answer 2

Create a simple batch file (jnote.bat):

@echo off
call jupyter notebook "%CD%"
pause

In the same folder create a shortcut to the batch file and rename it to jupyter-notebook.

Open the shortcut properties and change the icon to the jupyter.ico. You will find this in the .\Menu sub-folder in your Anaconda distribution. You should now have a shortcut with the) nice jupyter icon.

Copy the shortcut to all the folders that you use for your notebooks. Double-click the shortcut to open jupyter-notebook that folder.
