What is th e equal of "Start In" of a shortcut in Batch file?

Jul 6th, 2008

Hi i got an executable file which uses an .ini file, while they both are in the same directory all works fine.
The problem is that i must separate them and make a batch file that will call the executable and also will direct the executable where to find its .ini file,

I know that when a shortcut is made , one can set the "Start In" which will direct the executable where to search for its needed files, but how can i define this "Start In" inside a batch file?

I did try setting PATH inside the batch file, but it doesn't worked out....

Any suggestion?

Thanks ahead!

Daniel.
