Hi, I'm a new user of SyMenu.

I wish to launch Windows Command shell into a specific directory. In another words, when I launch the command shell, I need the command prompt to already be at the following folder:
"C:\folder 1\folder 2"

I know how to configure SyMenu so that the command shell is launched but I'm at a loss on how to do this.

I figured this out on my own. First of all, do not choose "Add Windows Command" - that doesn't give you any option to set a working directory. Instead choose "Add a Program". Afterwards refer to the 2nd screenshot steps 1-4 below.

Nice solution, M4verick.
I just want to add my two cents to show that it was also possible to solve the problem using a Windows Command item.

Add a new Windows Command item and fill the Command field with:

start cmd /k "cd /d D:\Misc\Down" && exit

Naturally, replace D:\Misc\Down with your own folder.
