Yes, it does also work for CD since it's same drive,
I've just gotten in the 
habit of PUSHDing & POPDing in my batch files. If you
need it to work for a 
drive other than current you'd have to change it a bit
at which point I'd say 
"PUSHD drive:path" more straight forward than "CD /D
drive:path" since it also 
allows simple backing out to last directory & drive
without having to track 
manually with environment variables.

There is also a method I've seen DriverPacks use to
locate the CDROM drive based 
on a "IF EXIST" check for a file on a certain path &
extracting the CDROM drive 
letter. Even in a crowded list of sub-folders you
could find a target folder if 
there's a known unique filename using the same method.

This is the kind of "programing" I love, simple &
powerful. CLI scripting was 
one of things I liked the best about taking a Unix
class.
