One way I found it to be useful
Create a batch file with .cmd extension to go where you want to go
Create a shortcut to this batch file on your desktop or where ever you like
I tend to do place this file in the same directory where it is taking me to

Here is how that batch file looks: goto-somewhere.cmd
@rem setup a name for your directory
set cur_wking_dir=C:\somedirectory-you-want-to-go
@rem use this line to open a command line and stay there
cmd /k cd %cur_wking_dir%

/K stands for
/K - Run Command and then return to the CMD prompt. This is useful for testing, to examine variables

This is an external unverified link and be careful. Seems useful and compact compared microsoft links

Another approach
Aha!
See the directory in the right hand pane
High light the directory (select)
Go to "File" menu
Use the command prompt available in the menu
