cd/d D: always goes to D:\Programs\Cmder\config\profile.d

[hyrious]

As I put Cmder at D:\Programs\Cmder, every time when I change directory by:

D:
cd/d D:
cmder /single "D:"

It will goes to D:\Programs\Cmder\config\profile.d actually.

And I've noticed something like below (the C: goes to %HOME% is the same as Windows's Cmd):

• Given path with / means the absolute path, it's obvious.
• Without /, it seems like it will goes to the HOME folder but I'm not sure.

Any explanation?

Getting same issue. Fairly new to using cli so I am not sure what to do

More details I've found these days.

• Windows' Cmd will remember the last directory of the disk you've worked at, and when you cd back to the same disk (without /), it will be there.
  
• Same behavior will be seen on Cmder, so we could conclude this:
  Cmder's last working directory is %CMDER_ROOT%/config/profile.d, which means Cmder runs cmd.exe at this path, and then goes to the real destination, e.g. %HOME%.
  If the target path's disk is the same as %CMDER_ROOT%'s, it's no problem.

So, if you want to make a change, go set some init scripts to cd to the root of this disk. ;-)

:: %CMDER_ROOT%\config\user-profile.cmd
set "init_current_path=%cd%"
cd /d D:/
cd /d %init_current_path%
set init_current_path=

But it will not change cmder /single "D:"'s behavior.

*.{bat|cmd}s at %CMDER_ROOT%/config/profile.d are going to be init scripts, where we may know the reason for it becomes the last path Cmder worked at before program getting ready.

file user_aliases.cmd, add new line:
D:=cd /d D:/
