In the command prompt window, after the path showing, type 'cd\' (without
the quotes)

In Explorer go to C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe. Right click on cmd.exe,
choose Copy. Go to a blank space on your desktop, right click, choose
Paste Shortcut. This will provide you with a command prompt shortcut which
will open at C:\WINNT\system 32. Now right click on that shortcut, choose
Properties..... Program. Change what is in the Working window from
C:\WINNT\system32\ to C:\.

Now your shortcut will open at the C:\ level.
