I am currently facing an issue I do not know how to track.

I put the start-in option of a prompt command to :

C:\Users\XXX\Downloads

Then apply and finally when I open the prompt command, it starts in:

C:\Users\XXX\Documents>

I remember one year ago I modify the registry to start in documents folder, and this is certainly the reason why it overloads the prompt command value I set up. But I am clearly not able anymore to know which key it is ... does someone have an idea?

  1. Open up registry editor by typing regedit in the search box, and then clicking on the link up top.

  2. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor and search for the string Autorun in the left window. If that string does not exist yet, create it. Double-click it afterwards and add the new directory path in the following way: CD /d C:\Users\XXX\Documents

  3. If you would like the command prompt to open in the Documents folder, use this string instead: CD /d C:\Users\XXX\Documents

  4. Close the registry editor, and then open the command prompt to check your work.
