Question

I think my question title is already crystal clear.

I am invoking Process.Start() method by passing, “cmd.exe” as parameter. But somehow when I execute the program the command prompt that appeared has my .../bin/debug/ in my project folder as its directory. I wanted it to change to C: instead.

Can someone advise me on this?

This is the proper way to set a specified working directory for any kind of process:

var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
processStartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\";
processStartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";

// set additional properties     
Process proc = Process.Start(processStartInfo);
