How do I point command prompt to a specific folder? I forgot how to do this.


Alternatively...

CD\FOLDER\FOLDER\etc. if you don't want to constantly change directories.

Additionally, you may be able to get more by typing HELP and viewing the list of commands and their functions. Should be able to access it in most versions of DOS. 6.22 has a good GUI for it.

Don't include the drive letter. It's just "\Files", not "C:\Files". o change drives, you have to actually use "[letter]:", e.g. "R:"

Ah, didn't realize. I'm just used to always typing the drive whenever I have a need to use cmd.
