Question:
What is the MS-DOS path for the Windows desktop?
Answer:
Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and
Vista users
The desktop is located in the below directory path. In the
below examples you would replace the (username) with the name of
the profile you use to log into Windows.
c:\documents and settings\(username)\desktop
or
c:\docume~1\(username)\desktop
Often when entering the command prompt by clicking Start, Run
and typing either cmd or command you'll automatically be placed
into the (username) directory, therefore you'll only need to
type: cd desktop to get into the desktop.
If you're in any other directory you would need to type
cd\docu~1\(username)\desktop to get into the desktop.
Windows 98, 95, and ME users
When entering the MS-DOS prompt you should automatically be
placed into the desktop directory. However, for those users who
are not, or simply need to know where the desktop directory is
for these versions of Windows it is the below path.
c:\windows\desktop
