- Where is documented the concept of the "current directory" for Windows tasks?
-
- Program Manager has the field in the Item Properties dialog for setting the
- current directory for each Windows or non-windows task you define, and the
- system seems to make that directory current when you switch to that task.
-
- But, is there such an API call as GetCurrentDirectory()? I could find
- nothing to that effect, and using the C-library chdir() call seemed to have
- no effect.
-
- How do you set the working directory for a task, using the API?
