    Description

      Tested build: "reactos-livecd-0.4.16-dev-x86-gcc-lin-rel" revision: g96c65e9;

       

      If field "start in" empty, on windows, shortcut to cmd.exe starts in current folder (in which the shortcut himself is.).

      but on ReactOS, shortcut with empty "start in" field starts in "X:\reactos"

      how to make the shortcut start in the folder where it is placed, regardless of where is placed?
      Exist something like that in specific paths? I tryed these specifis paths in startline:
       
      %SystemRoot%, %windir% - opening folder of current OS, regardless of whether it is on C: , D: or from ramdisk (live version) X: ;

      %USERPROFILE%, %HOMEPATH% - opening current user's folder;

      %ProgramFiles% - opening program files folder of current OS;

      %CommonProgramFiles% - opening common program files folder of current OS;

      %HOMEDRIVE%, %SYSTEMDRIVE% - opening root partition of current OS;

      %temp%, %Tmp% - opening temp folder of current OS;

      %ALLUSERSPROFILE% - opening program data folder of current OS;

      %AppData% - opening application data folder of current user;

      but none if for shortcut's current placed folder?

       

      This is practical, because if you deliver to a user a program that must be run from the command line, immediately deliver such a shortcut to cmd with him, thus saving him the work of typing so that he does not have to manually position himself in that folder, but with one double-click on that shortcut he is immediately positioned , regardless of where the end user extracted archive.
