Is it possible to change default path of node.js command prompt?

Question

Just the same as title, I want to change the default path of node.js command prompt from c:\user\"my username" to C:\nodejs, but not to affect that one(I mean default path) of windows command prompt.

Does anyone know if it is possible?

Yes, it is possible to change default path of node.js command prompt, when you launch it, then (Windows case)

1. go the directory where NodeJS was installed
2. find file nodevars.bat
3. open it with editor as administrator

4. change the default path in the row which looks like

   if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"
   

with your path. It could be for example

    if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "c://MyDirectory/"

if you mean to change directory once when you launched "Node.js command prompt", then execute the following command in the Node.js command prompt:

     cd c:/MyDirectory/
