title: Node.js Command Prompt; Starting in Z: instead of C:
body: <p>Node.js Command Prompt is starting in my <strong>Z:</strong> drive, which is a shared drive administered by my corporation. Because I only have access to it over the ethernet or VPN, it makes my connection very slow when trying to run GULP and browser sync.</p>
  
  <p>Firstly, will running it on the local disk speed up the compiling and syncing?</p>
  
  <p>Second, if Node is installed properly in the C: drive (which it is), why is it starting in Z:? Is my computer telling Node that the "home directory" is the Z: drive? <em>(In which case, would I only have to change the "Home directory" to get node to open in C:?)</em></p>
  
  <p>I do not have Admin of my computer because my company has very strict security. So I cannot change paths or home directories myself. (I can ask them to do it, but I need to just hand them the solution for doing so...)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help. I really need to be able to use GULP and Sync without it taking a minute and a half each time to run a task.</p>
  
  <h3>Edit</h3>
  
  <p>The "Start in" is already set to "C:\Program Files\nodejs\" and in the command prompt when I do: "cd .." or "cd C:\" or any of the ones of that ilk, it still just takes me back to the Z Drive.</p>
