How do I change the default path that I am put in when I open the command prompt? I have my PATH variable set to %SystemRoot%\WINNT\System32; Which does display as C:WINNT\System32, but when I open the Command prompt it defaults to the Root of my personnal drive on out network and none of the system commands are found until I cd to C:Winnt\system32. How can I make the Command prompt path default to the Winnt\system32 dir?
