Using esp-idf command prompt for building projects in folders other than esp-idf folder

[Zeni241]

I used ESP-IDF Tools Installer version 2.3 to successfully install required tools and esp-idf 4.0.
I can configure, build, flash projects if they are in some sub folder of esp-idf folder. But I work on projects which are in some folder other than esp-idf folder.
How can I use esp-idf command prompt for building projects in folders other than esp-id folder or its subfolders?

The great thing about " esp-idf command prompt" is that its blazing fast as compared to working in eclipse or MINGW32.

The ESP-IDF Command Prompt should set up your paths so that you can compile projects anywhere, what happens when you try to compile something in a different directory?
