Change default terminal in VS Code to cmd

Question

When I open VS Code, the default terminal is PowerShell and the default path is PS E:\Research\GM\Articles\Modularity\Covariance network\Graph theory\Metric basics\Consensus clustering\clustering_programs_5_2.

Q1: How could I change the default path in PowerShell to C:\Users<UserName>? (red line below)

Q2: How could I change the default terminal from PowerShell to cmd? (yellow circle below)

############################################################################# I followed Geeky's method which worked well. However, the default path is still E:\Research\GM\Articles\Modularity\Covariance network\Graph theory\Metric basics\Consensus clustering\clustering_programs_5_2 rather than something like C:\Users<UserName>:

Answer 1

Press Ctrl + Shift + P. Type "def" and the default terminal selection option pops.

Click on it and select your preferred terminal

Alternatively, add this in your settings.json file

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt",

If the following code exists already in your settings.json file or else add the following code also

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "PowerShell": {
        "source": "PowerShell",
        "icon": "terminal-powershell",
        "path": "C:\\windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
    },
    "Command Prompt": {
        "path": ["${env:windir}\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe", "${env:windir}\\System32\\cmd.exe"],
        "args": [],
        "icon": "terminal-cmd"
    },
}
