title: Windows Powershell: Shortcut for change directory
body: <p>I just started using Windows Powershell and one major problem I've run into is when I start it, it starts me off in this directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Username
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the directory I usually need to navigate to is in something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Username\Dropbox\Websites\2014\Projects\ProjectName
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And sometimes it goes much deeper. So you can see how it is a little annoying to navigate each time I start the shell to this directory using ten separate cd commands. I was wondering if there was a way to set up a shortcut or alias for something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd C:\Users\Username\Dropbox\Websites\2014\Projects\ProjectName
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or possibly I could set some sort of shortcut to the directory only so I could do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd shortcut
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it would cd to the proper directory. Does anyone have any experience with something like this? Is this a dumb thing to do? I'm very new to using any command line so I'm just trying to get used to navigating around files and folders more easily.</p>
