Command Prompt???

How do you change the current directory in command prompt?

I mean, when you open the cmd prompt, you are by default in C:\documents and settings\username.

I want to go to C:\ only. So, what do I command the prompt?

Thanks!Command Prompt???
Typing in ';cd ..'; takes you up one directory (so from C:\Documents and Setting\Username to C:\Documents and Settings).

';cd [dirname]'; takes you to that directory. To go to straight to c just type ';cd c:\';. ';dir'; will list the contents of the current directory.



For more info on each, type in ';help cd'; or ';help dir';.Command Prompt???
right click the command prompt and click on run as and then just click ok ... that should work
cd is the command to change directories.



cd c:\

will get you to the root of the c directory.
cd \
use this command:



cd C:



cd stands for change directory and C: tells cd what directory to change to (in this case the root C:)
you can easily access command prompt by typing ';cmd';



to run bar
Use the old DOS prompt



CD\



Good luck.
cd \ = takes you to the root



ex:



C:\documents and settings\username

cd\

(returns) c:



using periods takes you down one dir



ex:



C:\documents and settings\username

cd..

(returns) C:\documents and settings
