Changing MongoDB 3.6 default db path in Windows

I just installed a new MongoDB 3.6 on my Windows machine. Now I'm trying to change the default DB path. So I tried this:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data

It worked, but only until I restarted Mongo. Then it was back to usual c:\data\db.

I tried to google it, saw some info about changing a mongod.conf file, but I can't find this file in my installation.

Any suggestions?

Save this script in a Batch File(Mongo.bat) and run it every time:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data

You need to start mongod with same command everytime:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath c:\mongodb\data

Or you can create a configuration file and install mongo as a service.
