Answer 1

Not sure if this is helpful, but as of 11/2/15, Anaconda 2.4.0 moved to Jupyter, which has a different method for changing the default directory

In the command line type:

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Which will create a file named jupyter_notebook_config.py in your jupyter directory (In Windows Users/USERNAME/.jupyter). To change the default directory on startup, locate the line:

c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = u''

And put your preferred directory in the quotes.
