Command Prompt to C:\

[Guest]

Right now at command Prompt I start out at C:\Documents and Settings\user
name>.
I type in C:, cd, and chdir. Cannot get to C:\. When I type in D:, of J: or
any other drive I have it goes right there. When I type cmd at Run in Start
I get C>. This cannot be changed either. When I do a DIR I still get the DIR
of C:\Documents and Settings\user name>. HELP

In CMD try adding two periods behind cd eg: cd.. and see what happens.
you should move from D&S\user\ to D&S\ a 2nd cd.. should take you to C:\

Open "My Computer " and click on C: if you should see a "Files on this
drive are Hidden message" on the screen, make them viewable. I just found I
had the same problem. heh

The faster method would be CD\ <ENTER> which will take you to the Root of
C:
