Jupyter notebook open from cmd at any location or any drive

Recently I uninstalled Python and Anaconda. And again reinstalled it. But now I am facing an issue. Previously I was able to open jupyter notebook at any location in any drive by opening Command prompt by typing cmd in the address bar but it's now showing the following error:

> Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python310\python.exe"  "C:\Python310\Scripts\jupyter.exe" notebook': The system cannot find the file specified.

How should I handle this now? Please help. I want Jupyter notebook to be open at a specific folder location in a specific drive by opening command prompt through address bar. But not working now.

Your issue is probably related to your Windows environment variables.

To get to the interface, type the following into a terminal window with admin privileges:

rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables

Under 'Path' make sure that your python installation folder is present, if not add it. For me, python is under 'C:\Anaconda' and jupyter under 'C:\Anaconda\Scripts', but that is for an Anaconda installation. For reference see https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#setting-envvars.

To make sure that everything works, type:

> where python
> where jupyter

You should see the respective installation folders now.
