You could also modify your scripts so they start in the correct place - that's the better long term solution since you'll have to do this otherwise on any system you copy the scripts to/user that uses them.

Open regedit and browse to this path<br />
<br />
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Microsoft<wbr />\Command Processor<br />
Create new string vale named Autorun. Set its value to cd /d C:\. (Here whatever path you mention, next time on wards your command prompt will open in that path only)<br />
<br />
Run cmd again.<br />
<br />
Try your luck, I tried and it worked.

When I open a command promt, it defaults to the S drive, not the C drive. <br />
My scripts are therefore not working the way they were designed.. <br />
<br />
How can I configure the default to be C, instead of S for the command prompt in Windows 10 pro?<br />
Thank you.
