I need path to the folder that contains cmd file.
With %0 I can get the file name. But how to get the folder name?
c:\temp\test.cmd >> test.cmd
P.S. My current directory != folder of the script.

For the folder name and drive, you can use:
echo %~dp0
You can get a lot more information using different modifiers:
%~I - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (")
%~fI - expands %I to a fully qualified path name
%~dI - expands %I to a drive letter only
%~pI - expands %I to a path only
%~nI - expands %I to a file name only
%~xI - expands %I to a file extension only
%~sI - expanded path contains short names only
%~aI - expands %I to file attributes of file
%~tI - expands %I to date/time of file
%~zI - expands %I to size of file
The modifiers can be combined to get compound results:
%~dpI - expands %I to a drive letter and path only
%~nxI - expands %I to a file name and extension only
%~fsI - expands %I to a full path name with short names only
This is a copy paste from the "for /?" command on the prompt. Hope it helps.
