did you try drag & drop the notebook on jupyterlab icon ?

with Winpython64-3.8.2.1codb2.exe, you can also try drag & drop the notebook on VSCode icon.

so no way to run from command line
something like this

Jupyter Notebook.exe E:\my_code\my_notebook.ipynb
?

the icon is doing what is in scripts\winjupyter_lab.bat:

@echo off
call "%~dp0env_for_icons.bat"
cd/D "%WINPYWORKDIR%"
"%WINPYDIR%\scripts\jupyter-lab.exe" %*

so to call E:\my_code\my_notebook.ipynb, you can do:

call "E:\WINPYTHON_FULL_apr22\WPy64-3770\scripts\env_for_icons.bat"
"%WINPYDIR%\scripts\jupyter-lab.exe" "E:\my_code\my_notebook.ipynb"

unbelievable , so complicated...

maybe they have better ideas on stackoverflow, you may ask there

Ok, so here's a simple and uncomplicated way of doing this:
-copy the path of the project folder you would like to create your notebook in. Simply click on the path in the windows explorer and copy to clipboard
-open the WinPython Command Prompt in the WinPython folder. I recommend adding the WP Command Prompt to the taskbar (usefull for pip install stuff etc.)
-type cd PASTE and hit enter. By PASTE I actually mean Ctrl+v the path you had copied in step one. Now you've changed the directory to your project's path (cd stands for change directory).
In your example this step means typing cd E:\my_code and enter.
-type jupyter notebook or jupyter lab and hit enter.
Now you've successfully opened jupyter in a directory of your choice.
-create a notebook and start coding ;)

And you should register *.ipynb files to the jupyter notebook/lab app in the winpython directory. Then you can launch the notebook you created earlier by simply klicking on the file.

As you see, it only takes 2 lines in the WP command prompt:
cd E:\my_code and jupyter notebook it's really not complicated at all...

I know that is already old, but I had the same problem. The suggestion by @BerlXIII works, but stil requires you to start something somehwere else.

I threw together some pieces of the available scripts and wrote the following Batch-file called "Start-Jupyter-Here.bat":

@echo off
echo This scipts starts Jupyter from any folder
echo The path to the root of WinPython has to be defined in this script
echo.
rem Path without \ at the end!
set wipypfad=c:\WinPython-64bit-3.6.1.0Qt5
echo We use %wipypfad%
if not exist %wipypfad%\scripts\env_for_icons.bat echo Path not correct! %wipypfad%\scripts\env_for_icons.bat not found! EXIT
if not exist %wipypfad%\scripts\env_for_icons.bat goto :EndHere
echo.
echo Path is correct!
call "%wipypfad%\scripts\env_for_icons.bat"
echo Calling Jupyter ....
jupyter notebook
:EndHere

It is pretty much what was suggested above, but you can copy this batch file into any folder and directly launch Jupyter by double-clicking the batch file in that folder Works on network shares as well.

A slightly different approach may be to use a shortcut in the context menu: https://pypi.org/project/start-jupyter-cm.

Very cool, @joeheaven's solution works! But I guess @ericpre's solution is even more uncomplicated...

I suggest another "Start_Jupyter [WPy-x64-3760ps2].cmd" to run a Jupyter Notebook-server in the directory of the script:

@ECHO OFF

SET winpydir=C:\WinPython
SET winpy=WPy-x64-3760ps2

CMD /S /C "title Jupyter Notebook Server (%winpy%) && "%winpydir%\%winpy%\scripts\ipython_notebook.bat" %~dp0"

ECHO.
ECHO Server halted.
PAUSE

EXIT /B 0

You should put the script in the root-folder of your notebooks' location and run the script via a shortcut from anywhere.
So, here the folders for the installation and notebooks are fixed, but not the same.
The working directory should be changed from within the chosen notebook.

trying something in next build, with this that may work

"winipython_notebook.bat E:\my_code\my_notebook.ipynb"

1. Open a text editor such as Notepad.

2. Copy and paste the following code into the text editor:

@echo off
call "%~dp0env_for_icons.bat" %*
cd /d "C:\"
"%WINPYDIR%\scripts\jupyter-notebook.exe" %*

3. Save the file with a .bat extension, such as "launch_jupyter.bat".

4. Navigate to the WinPython64-3.11.1\scripts directory.

5. Move the batch file you created in Step 3 to the scripts directory.

6. Double-click the batch file to run it.

7. Jupyter Notebook should launch in the C: drive. From there, you can navigate to any other directory or file on your system.

That's it! You should now be able to launch Jupyter Notebook in the C: drive by running the batch file you created.

This an older query now but I have come across an easier solution while looking through these answers

Open winpython command prompt

cd to folder you want

enter the following in command prompt
jupyter notebook

This will open jupyter in directory specified
