Changing current directory

[Lemon Squeeze]

Hello everyone,
When I want to compile my source file and I want to change my directory to where the file is located, instead of being able to write

cd C:\java

I have to write cd C:\Users\pcworld\Document\Java

Everything works fine but I just wondered if I could do anything to enable me to just write cd C:\java instead?

Many Thanks

"C:\Users\pcworld\Document\Java" and "C:\java" are two different places. So you can't cd to one if you mean the other.

The cd command uses relative paths - paths relative to where you currently are. So, for example, if you are in the C:\Users\pcworld\Document directory (folder), you can say

c:\Users\pcworld\Document>cd Java

This will also take you to C:\Users\pcworld\Document\Java.

Not a Java question. Moved from New to Java.
