Example, if it\'s E:\\mybatch.bat it should find E:\\ same thing for F:\\, G:\\

Answer 1

Like others have said %~d0

There's no point in going over that again, but if you have stumbled into this thread then this will cd to the directory of the batch file.

@echo off
set "fullDir=C:\Program Files"
cd /d %fullDir%                                &rem changes to the full directory 'C:\Program Files'.
echo You're now cd' in the '%cd%' directory.
pause

Also if you want to run a batch file from another drive such as Z: then this one will do that.

cd /d %~d0                                     &rem Changes to the current directory
echo You're now cd' in the '%cd%' directory.   &rem This is now your full path of the batch file cd' into.
pause
