Jupyter under the WinPython environment has a batch file in the scripts folder called:

make_working_directory_be_not_winpython.bat

You need to edit the following line in it:

echo WINPYWORKDIR = %%HOMEDRIVE%%%%HOMEPATH%%\Documents\WinPython%%WINPYVER%%\Notebooks>>"%winpython_ini%"

replacing the Documents\WinPython%%WINPYVER%%\Notebooks part with your folder address.

Notice that the %%HOMEDRIVE%%%%HOMEPATH%%\ part will identify the root and user folders (i.e. C:\Users\your_name\) which will allow you to point different WinPython installations on separate computers to the same cloud storage folder (e.g. OneDrive) where you could store, access, and work with the same files from different machines. I find that very useful.

Just cd to your working folder and then start the IPython notebook server  This way you can be mobile

If you re using IPython 4 x Jupyter  run    jupyter notebook --generate-config   This will create a file jupyter notebook config py in    jupyter  This file already has a line starting with   c NotebookApp notebook dir u     All you need to do is to uncomment this line and change the value to your desired location  e g   c NotebookApp notebook dir u  home alice my ipython notebooks

Based on my experience  if you use  ipython exe  in python-2 7 5 Scripts from other directory  as typing at the comamnd prompt as ipython notebook    ipynb files will be loaded and saved in the current directory    notebook  is just a comamnd line parameter  I think the  ipython notebook exe  in Winpython top directory is not relevant for your request  As for me  I added the ipython exe directory to the Path only   If you want to make your profile in user directory  see below  https   code google com p winpython wiki Installation Settings

Yes  you can specify the notebooks location in your profile configuration  Since it s not saving them to the directory where you started the notebook  I assume that you have this option set in your profile  You can find out the the path to the profiles directory by using     ipython locate   Either in your default profile or in the profile you use  edit the ipython notebook config py file and change the lines   Note  In case you don t have a profile  or the profile folder does not contain the ipython notebook config py file  use ipython profile create     The directory to use for notebooks  c NotebookManager notebook dir   u  path to your notebooks    and    The directory to use for notebooks  c FileNotebookManager notebook dir   u  path to your notebooks    Or just comment them out if you want the notebooks saved in the current directory   Update  April 11th 2014   in IPython 2 0 the property name in the config file changed  so it s now   c NotebookApp notebook dir   u  path to your notebooks
