Anaconda / Python: Change Anaconda Prompt User Path

I want to change my Anaconda Prompt User file path. Currently it is as follows:

enter image description here

I want it to change to: C:\Users\u354590

How do I do this?

The current version of anaconda I have is:

Python 3.6.3 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Oct 15 2017, 03:27:45) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
Solution

  • In Windows, if you have the shortcut in your taskbar, right-click the "Anaconda Prompt" icon, you'll see:

    • Anaconda Prompt
    • Unpin from taskbar (if pinned)
    • Close window

    Right-click on "Anaconda Prompt" again.

    Click "Properties"

    Add the path you want your anaconda prompt to open up into in the "Start In:" section.

    Note - you can also do this by searching for "Anaconda Prompt" in the Start Menu. The directions above are specifically for the shortcut.
