Try this............

Right click the Desktop | New | Shortcut |
Paste this in the location box:

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Click Next | Click Finish |

Right click the new cmd.exe shortcut | Properties |
In the Start in box replace %windir% with C:\ |
Apply | OK

Double click the new shortcut and you should see.............

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