However, when running a command as root (using <command>sudo</command>, for example), <command>~</command> points to <filename class="directory">/root</filename>. When running a <command>cd</command> command with <command>sudo</command>, the full path to the home directory must be given.

For another example, typing: <screen>cd ~/Desktop</screen> moves to the <filename class="directory">Desktop</filename> subdirectory inside the current user's home directory.
