My subject header is my question. Sure hope there's a way.
BTW right now my command prompt opens at C:\Documents and Settings\Dick> Yeah, I know how to cd, but it's a PITA.
The easiest way is to create a shortcut then edit the properties to change the start in folder.
You can also add a command in the Autorun section of the registry to CD and that will apply to any prompt window (provided it doesn't override it with a cmd line option!)
BTW If using W2K or XP it's worth doing a "help cmd" at the dos prompt, the XP cmd is quite powerful - it even has Unix style file and folder completion available etc... But most of the power is switched off by default for backwards compatibility with DOS...
