Use the start /d parameter, e.g.

start "" /d"c:\documents and settings" cmd /k

see start /? for more help.

Try using

cd "pathname"

to get to the correct Path. For Example:

cd c:\tools\Script

you can also show all folders by using the command

dir

Furthermore the cmd.exe is automatically used if you try to execute a .bat file I believe. But for changing the normal path used you can edit the settings as shown in this picture: enter image description here
