Command

[Eric]

Is it posible to set the Command Prompt to not display
the full path? I am working in a directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\My Documents\My Programs
and takes more space in the window than I like to use.

Sure, at the command prompt type

set PROMPT=c:

replace c: with whatever you like.

prompt /?

Will list your options, I think.

so,

set prompt=$N:$G

will get you just your drive letter with no path.

Another option:
Create a shortcut for CMD.EXE. Then in properties, edit the "Start in" line
to C: (or whatever path you'd like). Place the shortcut into the Quick
Launch bar or somewhere else that is handy.
