Command Prompt problem

[Guest]

When I open my command prompt, it starts off with C:\Documents and Settings\myname>. It never gives me a fresh C:\> start. Why? I tried to open javac compiler with command prompt and couldn't. I can type dir C:\.... etc. but I cannot get a clean C:\ start on it. Does anybody know what is wrong?

Create a shortcut that runs CMD.EXE and in the shortcut "Start-In" Folder
put "C:\" without the quotes and you should start there.

Why would you think something is wrong. It's opening to the default directory or if you are starting it from a system supplied shortcut it's being told to start at %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.

Sounds like it's working perfectly.

Hey! Thanks to both of you. I was enlightened on my situation, relieved, and was able to also manage what I was wanting. Much appreciation to the both of you
