Win2k Command Prompt Directory?

Is there a way to change the default directory that the command prompt opens with when I run 'command'?
 
It's actually CMD.

"Command" is an executable stub that simply passes on to CMD.

On the Start Menu, right click on Command Prompt and select Properties. You can define where the command prompt starts from in there.
 
That will only change that specific shortcut to cmd.exe in the start menu.

Windows key junkies like me need a way to have that work when we typ Winkey+r and cmd.

I usually leave a Windows Explorer window open, and it's set to show the current directory in the Address bar. I just copy the addy from there and paste it in behind the CD command at the CMD prompt to get where I want to be. Or you can just install the "Open Command Prompt Here" PowerToy (or just add it with a registry tweak). But both of these methods require you to have an Explorer window open.
