Create a new program item
Fill the Path textbox with the string: cmd.exe
Go to Additional params in the bottom and press the tab Advanced
Check the Enable advanced params checkbox
Write in the Working directory textbox the full path you are interested in.

Rememeber that inside the working directory you can use even the universal unit identifier (#:\) or a relative path.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:46:29 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=396 The only thing I want to do is open a command window and change to a specific directory.
That's it! Then I can do whatever I have to do in the command window which is already changed to the necessary directory.
E.G. "CMD.EXE" followed by "CD E:\Data"
SyMenu already allows opening a command window. I want to do a CD to the directory I want.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:28:09 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=396 The Windows command item in SyMenu has not the working directory feature, yet. I know that I have to add it but in your case can't you use a full path in you command?
Since the SyMenu Windows command item supports only the native Windows commands, and the Windows commands support path redirection, can't you write something like:
dir E:\Data
instead of
dir
?
Naturally I did a simple example with the dir command because I don't know which command you need to launch.]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:51:59 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=396 Hopefully this question is so simple it will embarrass me!
Is it possible to open a command window and change to a different directory? Or, open the command window with a "start in" sort of option?
CMD.EXE defaults to C:\Windows\System32 (as expected) but I was trying all kinds of way to do a CD E:\Data with no success.
Is it possible?]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2015 15:47:36 GMT
