Execute command without navigating to directory in windows

Question

I have 2 directories on my windows.

C:/jenkins/workspace
D:/Projects/scripts/ (index.js file is in this directory)

Now, I want to execute command node index.js --debug. I want to execute this command from C:/jenkins/workspace without navigating to D:/Projects/scripts/

How can I do this?

"D:/Projects/scripts/node" index.js --debug

the " are not really needed in this case, but it's a good habit tu use them, because they prevent from failures, if the path or filename contains spaces.

Type the following into a batch file:

cd /d "D:\Projects\scripts\"
node index.js --debug

he said: "without navigating to `D:/Projects/scripts/`". Also you need `/d` with `cd` to change to another drive. – Stephan May 29 '14 at 09:25
