How to create a script automating CMD(command prompt) and line of commands

Question

I would like to create a shell script that automatically open the CMD and type 2 lines of command

This is the herierchy

open CMD

Change directory (cd d:\mydirectory\drivers

command ( file.exe start -c )

I tried some examples in the existing posts but it has different ways like editing regedit/run at start up..

What I need is to create a executable file wherein if I click it, it will automatically open cmd and type those commands.

I am not also familiar nor knowledgeable in creating shell scripts.

Hope someone will help. Thank you in advance.

Why do you need to specifically open CMD?

Just create a file, call it script.sh, as follows:

#!/bin/bash

cd d:\mydirectory\drivers
file.exe start -c

Save the script and to make it executable, run chmod +x script.sh

Now, you can run it by just clicking on it.

Thank you for your response... Is there a way to do it in CMD instead of bash? It doesn't work in bash, because I am expecting to open a new cmd window after the last command...
