Notes

When a UNC path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive map and will then use that new drive.

Temporary drive letters are allocated in reverse alphabetical order so if Z: is free it will be used.

If Command Extensions are disabled the PUSHD command will not accept a network (UNC) path.


Examples
    c:\Program Files> PUSHD c:\utils
    c:\utils^\>
    c:\utils> POPD
    c:\Program Files>

    c:\Program Files> PUSHD \\Server_23\MyShare\MyFolder

    Z:\MyFolder> POPD
