Auto-execute command after going to a folder with the CD command

Question

Is it possible to auto-execute a command in a folder if you move to it via the cd command?

Of course I can define my own command (e.g. CHD.BAT) doing something like this:

@echo off
cd %1
if exist init.bat (
    init.bat
) else (
    color 0F
    title Command Prompt
)

But I wonder if something like this would be possible using the standard CD command.

Answer 1

No, as this would be insanely dangerous. If it was, you could trick an administrator into executing random malicious code just by visiting one of your folders.

Answer 2

you can do this by creating a doskey macro:

doskey cd=cd $*$Tif exist init.bat (init.bat) else (color 0f^&title Command Prompt)

However, it seems like output done in the init.bat file seems to get written after the usual prompt:

C:\Users\Me>doskey cd=cd $*$Tif exist init.bat (init.bat) else (color 0f^&title Command Prompt)

C:\Users\Me>cd stuff

C:\Users\Me\Stuff>Foo

(My init.bat in Stuff only contains @echo Foo.)
