hi,

when i wanted to start a cmd.exe windows today, i saw that the
"default" current directory was "j:" instead of (i guess) "c:\documents
and settings\kevin"

I'd like to put it back to normal, but i can't find how...

Please help me

Kevin

Kevin,

By default it opens to the home directory. Check if the setting is being overridden in the registry.

How to change the default startup directory for Command Prompt?:
