Change default command line path for command prompt.

[Coldkilla]

I've been googling this forever and have no idea how to properly search it.

My command line (Run > cmd) is defaulted to this location:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

I'd like it to just be C:

How can I do that?

See this link:

Just found out the Easy Way to do this:

Right click on the shortcut of "Command Prompt", then you will see a textbox labeled "Target", change the address in this textbox to C:\ .... this will work (I just tried it. It does.) If you need it the default target is: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

Switching the default Target from: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% to C:\, that simply creates a shortcut opening the C drive folder. I'll check out the other way though. Thanks!

Use Console.

"cmd.exe /k cd c:\"

Sorry my error ... Typo .. It should have said 'change the Start In box' to: C:
and it does work .. I did it here just now
