shortcut for opening cmd.exe at a certain location

i don't know in windows 7, but in windows xp and previous:

  • create a shortcut to c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
  • right-click -> properties
  • in the "start in" write the desired target folder (e.g. f:\aviv\geffen)

click ok, and there you go.


Create a shortcut to cmd.exe, then go to its properties and edit the Target:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K "D: & cd eclipse"

This would first change the current directory to D: and then cd into eclipse folder
