title: Activating a Python virtual environment & changing directory in one shortcut (with cmd)
body: <p>I'm trying to do the following:</p>
  
  <p><li>Open a CMD prompt</li>
  <li>Activate a virtual environment</li>
  <li>Change the current directory to my project folder</li></p>
  
  <p>In essence, I need to execute the following commands sequentially:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Envs\djangorocks\Scripts\activate
  cd "D:\GitHub\steelrumors"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8055371/how-to-run-two-commands-in-one-line-in-windows-cmd">this link</a>, but creating a shortcut as follows gives me nothing (just a plain CMD prompt in the currently active directory):</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd \k "C:\Envs\djangorocks\Scripts\activate" &amp; "cd "D:\GitHub\steelrumors""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After quite a while of searching I'm still doing it manually, any help is appreciated.</p>
