Changing the directory of the command prompt

[Rakula]

How do I change the directory of the Windows Command Prompt ? (Windows Vista Business). Windows help on the command prompt does not explain.

I'm under Windows XP and


cd <directory_name>
works fine

I'm not sure if i got your question right, but i think you want the cd (http://ss64.com/nt/cd.html) command, you can use it cd PATH like cd C:\Users or cd.. to go up one level or cd \ to go to the root of current drive.

You can also drag and drop a directory from explorer into the console. This will copy the path into the console. So, type "cd " then drag the folder into the console and hit enter.
