I thought this may be possible using the same technique you can use to get an external processes command line and there does seem to be a
_RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS->CurrentDirectoryPathwhich sounds promising.(The example doesn’t state that the APIs are largely undocumented and that they are not future proof, so YMMV)
