The CD commands were obviously just example commands
not the commands you really want to run. Even if these
commands were able to successfully change the current
directory in some other context than the command prompt
window, that context could only entertain one current
directory at any given time.
If you want to run a sequence of commands synchronously
(one after the other) in the command prompt window, you
could do as Forest suggested for a short sequence:
wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c cd D:\ & dir & cd E:\ & dir"
or you could put the commands in a batch file:
wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c mybatch.cmd"
or just:
wshShell.Run "mybatch.cmd"
You would, of course, need to ensure that the location
of the batch file was properly specified or deduceable.
If you want to run a sequence of commands asynchronously
(all at the same time), well, that is not how the command
prompt window itself works. You would need to launch
separate processes, each doing whatever task is assigned
it. If these are batch files, each will run in its own
command prompt window; if these are vsbcript files, you
could run them with wscript.
Or, if you were to switch to powershell, you could run
them as separate powershell jobs.
