[windows] CMD (command prompt) can't go to the desktop

when I open the commend prompt the default line is this

C:\Windows\system32>

and I'm using SASS to convert a .scss file located located on my desktop.

I know the default line should be saying something like this C:\Users\the name of my machine

I type c:\Users\MyName\Desktop and hit enter I get this

'c:\Users\MyName\Desktop' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This question is related to windows cmd

The answer is


You need to use the change directory command 'cd' to change directory

cd C:\Users\MyName\Desktop

you can use cd \d to change the drive as well.
