It looks like you are running in an administrator elevated prompt so the first thing you need to do after you open that prompt is `cd %USERPROFILE%` if using the C,d prompt or `cd $HOME` or `cd $env:USERPROFILE` if using Powershell.
Try that and see if running vagrant init from that directory works.
