As you are running under Windows XP the current directory is found in the CD variable so to set your own one

Set MyCurDir=%CD%

OK, use the following statements

Call :FOLDER %CD%
.....
.....
GoTo :EOF

:FOLDER
Set MyCurDir=%~n1
GoTo :EOF
......

where :FOLDER is an internal subroutine, :EOF the standard return label for NT-kernel batches and the labels must have the : as first character.
