    Is this of any help?
    • Open up Explorer and highlight the directory you want to be in
    • Select Run / Command from the Start Menu
    • Your DOS prompt will now be in the directory you highlighted in Explorer

    Thanks, I have managed to do it at last by picking up the short cut and sliding it along the taskbar to the left until it was over the start button.
