Re: Command Prompt

You can also change the Start in for the cmd shortcut located under
Accessories on the Start Menu.

How do you set up the command prompt to show just C:\> ? Everytime I
open it it is setup as C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff> and I'm not sure
if that is why when I try to use commands i.e .exe it says "Path not
Valid" or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jeff
