If the Windows 2000 / Windows XP Command Extensions are enabled the PROMPT
command supports the following additional formatting characters: $+ zero or more plus sign (+) characters depending upon the
depth of the PUSHD directory stack, one character for each
level pushed.
$M Displays the remote name associated with the current drive
letter or the empty string if current drive is not a network
drive.
To enable or disable the command prompt extension in Windows 2000
or Windows XP, use the following registry hack:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Command
Processor
Name: EnableExtensions
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
enable
Value: 0 disable
You can enable/disable the extensions for the command shell you are in by
issuing the following commands:
cmd /y

cmd /x enables command extensions for this cmd session
