GUIs are nice and all, but sometimes I just want a command prompt.

So I go to start, select RUN, and enter CMD to get a nice, old school, command prompt. My only problem is that I'd like to change the settings that this prompt uses. I'd like to be able to change my PATH for example.

Where would I make such a change so that everytime I type command from RUN I will always get the same path?

Thanks.
 
If you select MS Dos from a prompt, simply select the program to start in the drive or directory you require.

Then create this batch file in the file you want it called, I will think of some other ways if you wanna, let me know
