You can create a separate batch file to do this and then execute it with
CALL PUSH.BAT -- or else incorporate these two lines into any batch file:

PUSH.BAT
--------
echo @echo off>pop.bat
command/e:1024 /cfor %%i in (1 2) do
               prompt $n:$_CD $p$_|find/v "prompt ">>pop.bat

(Join what I have shown as two broken lines into one long line.)

When called, this creates a file POP.BAT -- and later execution of POP
will return you to your original drive and directory. (Just make sure
that you create the file POP.BAT where it can be found on your path.)
