If you mean to change default directory for "Node.js command prompt", when you launch it, then (Windows case)

1. go the directory where NodeJS was installed
2. find file nodevars.bat
3. open it with editor as administrator

4. change the default path in the row which looks like

   if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"
   

with your path. It could be for example

    if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "c://MyDirectory/"

if you mean to change directory once when you launched "Node.js command prompt", then execute the following command in the Node.js command prompt:

     cd c:/MyDirectory/
