When we open the command prompt, it starts at it's default directory of C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\User. You can always change the directory through DOS commands, but if you change the default starting point like this every time you open CMD, you can just change the default directory once and make the command prompt open in a different directory:
- Right-click on your Desktop and select New, then Shortcut to create a new shortcut.
- Enter the location of the Command Prompt (C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe) and click Next.
- Name your newly created shortcut.
- Click the Finish button.
- Right-click on the CMD shortcut and select Properties.
- Navigate to the Shortcut tab.
- On the Start in: text field type the location you want the command prompt to start (for example: C:\Windows)
