Thread: Open Command Prompt In A Specified Directory

The command prompt, when initialised. starts in the logged in users default
directory C:\Documents and Settings\Username. From there, you have to navigate using DOS com¬mands to the respective directory, if you have to run an application or work on some files. If you want to launch the com¬mand line at a different location. first create a shortcu t on your Desktop or your Quicldaunch folder by right clicking on it and clicking New > Shortcut.

Enter the location of the item as C:\windows\system32 \ cmd. exe. Give a name to the shortcut and click Finish create it. Right-elick on the created shortcut and choose Properties. Click the Shortcut tab and enter the path where you want the command prompt to start. For example, C : \ . Click OK. Double click the shortcut to run it.
