Winpython *.bat launchers change the current working directory after exiting

See original GitHub issue

Summary

In the make.py script, most *.bat launchers are set to contain the line cd/D "%WINPYWORKDIR%" or a similar cd/D ... line. This causes an unexpected change in the current working directory when accessing these launchers from the command prompt. Issue #384 details this unexpected behaviour for python.bat, I raise this issue to be applicable for all *.bat launchers.
