How to Move CMD.exe
There are two ways to move the cmd.exe file -- through Windows and through the Windows command prompt window. The cmd.exe file opens the Windows command prompt window. If you move the cmd.exe file from its current location, then all links to the file will be broken. Unless you have a good reason to move the file, and you know how to substitute the file paths in all of the links, then you should leave it at its current location.
