DOS Command [Self Resolved]

What is the dos command to change directories to the top level parent directory. Like if you are on
D:\Test\Test2\Test3 and you want to go to the root of D? I cant remember what the command was. I know the
cd.. takes you up only one directory.

Thanks

Figured it out.

CD C:\ to take you to the root directory of the specified drive.

Better answer:

CD \

Thanks frogman! That was actually the one I was trying to remember.
It takes you to the root of the current drive.

And I know memory is the first thing to go.

You can spare yourself valuable microseconds by simply typing CD\ (there's no space there).

Plus your keyboard lasts that bit longer.

Memory improves with smoking. Yes... I think it was smoking.
