Dear Experts,

Whenever I start DOS command prompt through

Start->Run->cmd

it always give me H: \ >

How can I change it permanently to
C: \somepath\>

So whenever I open DOS prompt it will always be there at:

C: \somepath\>

Thanks and hope to hear from you again.

That is controlled by the environment settings Homedrive and Homepath.

Simplest solution is to create a shortcut for cmd.exe, and in its properties
change the Start In setting to the desired drive/path.
