This is also a good approach for Windows since aliases on Windows don't really exist. Make a directory like C:/path/to/aliases that holds all your batch files.

Doskey is a (kind of) Windows replacement for shell aliases, and it can be configured to auto-execute macros file in new cmd.exe windows.

I know you’re not talking about Powershell, but on Windows most people would be using Powershell, and that does have good alias support.
