change the directory to the command prompt

I need to change the prompt from the root c: directory not c::------(directory\subdirectory

Hello Dennis,.

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and we provide a detailed description of the issue.

According to the description, I understand that you want to change the root directory for the prompt on the system.

Certainly, I understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

I suggest you to refer to the steps below and check if that helps.

  1. Open the command prompt. You can access the command prompt by clicking the start menu and typing cmd into the search field. You can also access it by typing cmd in the field run, or it can be found in the system of the start menu accessories/Tools folder.
  2. When you start the command prompt, you will be located in your home directory. It is usually C:\Users\username.
  3. There are a few shortcuts to move through the command prompt. Press ENTER after each command to execute:
  • dir- This command lists all of the folders and files in the directory that you are currently running.
  • Folder of the CD- This command move to the folder that you specify. The folder must be in the directory you are currently in. For example: If you are currently in C:\Users\ username \and you type cd desktop, you will be taken to C:\Users\ username \Desktop\
  • Path of CD- This command will take you to a specific path on your computer. You need not be in the same directory as the path. You must enter the full path to make it work. For example:
  • .. CD - this command move up to a directory of your current location. For example: If you are currently in C:\Users\ username \and you enter, you will be taken to C:\Users\
  • cd\ - This command takes you to the root directory, regardless of your location. For example: If you are currently in C:\Users\ username \and you enter, you will be taken to C:\
  • DriveLetter:- This command takes you to the drive letter that you specify. The drive you specify must be active, or have a disk in it if it a DVD player. For example, if you want to drive D, you should enter the command
  • -output This command will close the command prompt, regardless of your current place of residence.

I hope this information is useful.

Please let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

    Unfortunately, you can not.  In addition, change the DPI requires reboot (or logout and back).  But you can apply a different theme, that you can call from the command just by opening the .themepack file.  Since themes can control the size of some elements of the police who might do the trick you are looking for.

  • Change the command line parameters without having to restart LabVIEW

    Is it possible to change the command line parameters passed to a VI WITHOUT having to restart LabVIEW?  Maybe I'm used to how it works just about any other development environment, but to have to do is quite frustrating.

    ronbrown,

    Unfortunately, you'll have to close LabVIEW to pass parameters in a VI of the command prompt. You can build your VI in an executable file, and then pass parameters from the command prompt.  Because the program is its own executable file, it is not dependent on wheter LabVIEW is open.

  • Update Live from the command prompt

    Hello

    I create an executable whose purpose and to make the creation of a winPE bootable USB key easier.

    To create the key, I need to run multiple commands with the systemexec.vi. Many of these commands take ages at the end so I need to know whether or not the command is still in progress.

    What would be great is to have a live update from the command prompt. I guess there should be a way to insert the command line in a secondary or other container?

    Best regards

    Try to redirect the standard output to a file, as in this example:

    ping 192.168.0.46 > out.txt

    If your utility supports redirection, you can read the contents of the file at any time.

    Open a command prompt.

    Type:

  • How do you do the command prompt window stay open after running a command?

    OK, I feel stupid asking this, because I knew the answer before. I learn Visual C++ programming. The book I learn to write C++ and past then in details on the writing of the GUI from Visual C++ part. The book that I market me through compilation and to make an exe file in a cpp file, and then he said: go to the directory in Explorer and double click on the exe file. I do, and the command prompt appears a quick second before closing down. The example in the book shows the output, and the writer obviously has his guest configured to pause after executing an exe file.

    I just set up my guest to do the same thing, so I can at least see the results. I know that running the exe I wrote, but I would like to see the output for less than a second.

    I don't know how you code this. But if it's like a normal batch or whatever it is command line related.

    Follow these steps to use a switch defined by the user at the end of the script.

    To pause a file of DOS commands under Windows XP, continue to the next command, you can use the PAUSE command. Make request to the user with the text:

    Press any key to continue. . .

    Then the batch file is waiting for the user to press a button. However, if you want to pause a batch file and display anything? Simply redirect the results to no one as follows:

    pause > null

    Given that it is perhaps not very useful (how will the user know they need to press a key to continue the batch file?) you display a different prompt. Issue a command with your desired guest ECHO, and then issue the break preceding > no command.

    For example, to pause a batch file of Windows XP with the prompt "Press ENTER to run the command", use the following commands:

    echo press ENTER to run the command
    pause > null

  • Need help to fix a computer using the command prompt

    So, my computer has suddenly crossed an escalation of alarming events, culminating with a very desperate, me trying to get information on the "Command Prompt". I don't know why, how, and it's all heart-wrenching. If someone has an idea of what could be done to fix it, I'd certainly eternally grateful to them. I will try to be as detailed as possible, so I don't miss information that might be useful for someone who know how to use.

    I have an Acer Aspire V5 - 573G, running under Windows 8 64-bit with a 12G RAM, about 1 year and a half old, and this is the story of his unexpected collapse.

    3 days ago the computer suddenly began to show extreme problems with the help of any program. I had let him sleep for a few hours, and when I came back all started running very slowly.
    At the beginning I'm not too worried about I have mostly ran programs dependent on Internet and thought it was a simple connection problem. I have conducted a malware check (which I use quite regularly anyway) and downloaded Avast to see if he could detect all viruses, but everything was fine.

    However, after that them stopping and turning back on the morning, things only seem to be deteriorating. I was not using my computer much at all, but after the second day of the fight with all that I realized that in Task Manager, something was really wide, and the drive was 100% use even when nothing was running.
    Usually, after a few minutes it would go back down to 1-2%, but as soon as I ran whatever it is, even simply open Control Panel, happen very quickly to 100 times (sometimes the Task Manager was sufficient to make this happen).

    I removed Avast and tried to delete the process when I made sure it was safe to do so, but it did not work. I tried after tutorials on the Internet for people who reported similar problems, which led me on a desperate journey funny through Windows Defender removal, an (unnecessary) extreme increase virtual memory (which I brought to the standard after that report maybe just made even slower computer), something to change the parameters of High-Performance mode so that the Hard Drive would never turn off has tried to stop the search and indexing in my session, make a small altar to Turing... nothing worked.

    I ran a chkdsk /f C: who found problems with indexing files / indexed and likely fixed, because when I ran simple verification once the computer has been again this topic found no problem. However, the situation was the same: essentially constant use of the disk of 100% and no way out.
    A sad moment, after hours of attempts, I stopped by mistake the wrong process, explorer.exe. I restarted the computer, and then the problem was still there, at least explorer.exeseemed fine.

    However, when a few minutes later, I rebooted the computer, even once, I couldn't access the desktop more and I found myself in a loop of reboot attempt that has nothing, attempted to retrieve an earlier version of the system but nothing happened.

    The only thing I can do is access chkdsk to see what the problem is, but I'm not sure that I could see a way out of this, even if there was a. The only thing that seems clear is that there is a lot of damaged clusters, that he can't solve.
    This morning I ran 2 other chkdsk /f c:, the results by saying that there was no problem and no further action was required.
    So I ran a C: /R, and once again he told me that there are some clusters damaged in this file.

    Is there something I can do? Someone has an idea of what could have happened?
    My idea was to wait for it to perform this check, run a chkdsk /f /r c: and see how it goes if I restart it, but I could really use advice from more experienced and skilled people.

    The computer has not received any physical damage, not even in the relatively distant past of her young life. Before he started having all these problems he did nothing particularly requiring either, just running a few innocent Assassins Creed II (with 11.9 available RAM for what I remember stats and a Nvidia GeForce GT 750 M, I think not that it should have been a source of so much distress). This is the first time it gives me problems.

    Also, I apologize if any information was unclear or confused, but not only am I a tragedy with computers, I also use a computer in a different language and a few technical terms could have been translated a little too big. If someone needs more information, I can do my best to give it.
