I tried the answers in How to navigate to a different directory in Jupyter Notebook?, but they didn’t work for various reasons:
Some answers are “how to permanently change your Jupyter start-up folder” which I don’t want to do. I already did this, I set my start-up folder and I like it. Sometimes I just need to move around.
I tried changing my directory in Anaconda Prompt and launching lab, but it still takes me to my default start-up folder.
cd/d D:Documentsmy_new_folder jupyter lab
Confirmed the cd worked.
On Windows.

Answer
If you’ve set the default directory in the config file located at C:Users[USER].jupyterjupyter_lab_config.py. You can use the option --notebook-dir="." to start Jupyter lab at the current folder you’re in.
jupyter lab --notebook-dir="."
