need to get to command prompt for drive C root

[Carl G.]

I need the command prompt for drive C root like this:
C:\>
WindowsXP only provides this command prompt:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>
I need to navigate to a directory so I can deal with a
file in my "Pictures" folder. How do I do this? Thanks!

Open the Command Prompt and type: CD C:\ , and hit enter.

copy the following and make it as .reg file
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""

send it to registry
open up your explorer and right click on any folder , choose Open Command
Window Here
