I’m trying to use the command prompt to move some files,
I am used to the linux terminal where I use ~ to specify the my home directory
I’ve looked everywhere but I couldn’t seem to find it for windows command prompt (Documents and Settings\[user])
You’re going to be disappointed:
%userprofile%You can use other terminals, though. Powershell, which I believe you can get on XP and later (and comes preinstalled with Win7), allows you to use
~for home directory.
