When open a command prompt using start<run<cmd, the command prompt defaults to W: which is a mapped drive. How can I get the cmd promt to open to C: by default?
 
If you type SET while in your command prompt you'll probably see HOMEDRIVE = W: and HOMEPATH =
Simply change/add the HOMEDRIVE environment variable to C: and HOMEPATH to whichever folder you want it to start in.

What kind of network are you on that makes it open up in W:?

Are there files in W: that if you make this change will cause your other applications to not find these files?

 
No apps running there. It's our home directory. Thank you!
