If you are trying to run your code from the command prompt and you have to navigate to your project directory every time, it gets annoying after a while. You can change the default path in the registry but that might break something else. Here is a simple solution:
1) Navigate to command prompt from the start menu.
2) Right click and create a shortcut
3) Right click and go to properties
4) Change the “start in ” path to the path of your project
Note: you can drag the shortcut icon to the task bar section near the start button for easy access.
