Google helped me to find two possibilities.

Possibility one: cmd has various switches, one of them being the '/k' switch, which makes cmd run a certain command automatically. So

cmd /k C:/myStuff

should start cmd in the path C:/myStuff. Of course, you can create a Link to cmd /k C:/myStuff in your system32 directory.

Possibility two: To change the default directory permanently, use this solution.

Greetings,

also have a look at ' Open Command Window Here ' on this MS page -

you can add a context menu manually but this is easier and i use it all the time
