How do I store files in a different working folder than jupyter

Question

I've tried this before:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35254852/how-to-change-the-jupyter-start-up-folder

But when I changed the start-up folder, I found that the interface is blank. The packes and all that stuff were gone. These will disappear.

I want to create a shortcut under jupyter's working folder to a folder where I want to store my files, such as d:\MLDemo. But here is a error:

What should I do about it? Or is there another way to save files somewhere else?

Answer 1

This worked for me on Windows 10:

1. Copy your path file location where you want to work

   Example: C:\Users\X\Desktop\JupyterWorkSpace

2. Create a shortcut of Jupyter notebook on your desktop

3. Right click on the shortcut; select properties;

4. Beside target, inside the path you will find: "%USERPROFILE%/"

5. Delete %USERPROFILE%

6. Paste your path file location inside " /"

   Example: "C:\Users\X\Desktop\JupyterWorkSpace/"

7. Apply and than click ok.
