When doing demos I am frequently asked how do you point you session of Jupyter Notebooks to a different location than the default? It is really simple to do, once you know how.
Default location
On Windows the default location is in the user you’re logged in as.
%userprofile%

Running the command above in an explorer window, will take you there.
Using a different location
If you do not want to run Jupyter here, then all you need to do is open a command prompt (cmd/anaconda) and change the directory to where you want to create the notebooks. Once in the location enter
jupyter notebook
A new session will start and you will now see all the notebooks in that location.

A simple little way to run notebooks in a location of your choice.
