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?

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.

donethat Posts: 9 23/11/2015	donethat Posts: 9 Sorry the question wasn't clear. 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.

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.
