I would change the ~/.bashrc enhancement to something like this:
CurrDir="$(pwd)"
if [[ "$CurrDir" == "$SystemDir" ]]
then
cd /path/to/sensible-dir-name
Fi
Where $SystemDir is your System32 directory. Always remember how \ and / differ between Windows and Linux paths:
Suggests using:
sed -e 's#^J:##' -e 's#\\#/#g'
That said in your instance you could probably hard-code the path.
