command prompt

When I open command.com or cmd.exe the command line starts with something like c:/mydocumentsandsettings/compaq_owner/ how can i get rid of that? in the site hacking tutorial http://www.hellboundhackers.org/readarticle.php?article_id=241 it says to run a ping and a ip lookup from the command prompt, is it not working because its looking on my own computer instead of online? or am I completley wrong here help is appreciated

Its supposed to be like that, ping is on your computer.

go to notepad type in cd c:\ then save it as yournamehere.bat then click on it everytime you want to go to just c:\

Did you even read what the kid wants? Just type 'ping IPhere' that's it, it works ;)

awesome got it , thanks
