I have VS.NET 2003 installed on my computer (in C:)
Here is my question....When I launch the VS.NET 2003 Command Prompt (Start>Programs>Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003>Visual Studio .NET Tools)
When the console window opens the command prompt looks the image attached below???
I don't even have an H:???
BTW...when I try to cd to the C:....it won't let me!
Why is it doing this??? and How can I fix it to default to the C:???
Dunno but I do know that you cannot cd from one drive to another anymore. In Win2k and XP you have to use dir to change drives.
hmmm, I have WinXP, Win2K and Win2003 and CD works for me. you can type help cd to see all of the options for that command; cd /D F: would change you to the F:drive(if you have one) from whatever drive you were in. That is weird that you don't have an H. Did you do a dir in there to see what's in the drive/dir? As for defaulting somewhere else, you can right click on the shortcut for the command prompt, go to properties and change the start in parameter to point to whereever you want that prompt to start in. This is on a Win2003 machine but it should work the same on the others:

In Win9x I always just did cd /c: or cd/d: but in XP/2K, it doesn't work that way so I used dir to change drives.Quote:

Typing the drive letter and colon works for me to change drives.
Type C: to change to C, H: to change to H.
I modified the Start In: value (it was nothing) and set it to C:
It works fine now...
It just had me wondering why it would start in H:, when I don't even have an H: (I only have A:, C:, D:, E:)
