Shortcut for desktop in cmd

Is there any shortcut for desktop in windows command prompt ? (like %WINDIR% for windows directory)
I want to use cd %DESKTOP% for example.

Closest thing to that (without you setting your own Variable) is

cd %UserProfile%\Desktop

Beyond that you can set your own Variable:

SET DESKTOP=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop

And then cd %Desktop% will bring you to x:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop

For Command Line options to do the same:
setx desktop "%userprofile%\desktop" for User Variable
setx desktop "%userprofile%\desktop" /M for Computer/System-wide Variable
