How to setup working directory to point somewhere else then to user dir

jozef.bucha
Hello everyone,
 
How is possible to setup working dir so it is not pointing to user dir, like it is in default?
 
In settings and license there is option:
Capture
but it seems that is not making difference for me. Adams is always starting with default working dir in user dir
 
Thanks

    That Working-Dir setting is only valid for remote computing.
    If you're using it, then this is the working dir on the remote machine.
     
    When I do internal trainings, I always recommend the participants to either
    • use a blank field in "start in" and then copy the Icon to where they want it to start
    • enter the desired start-dir in the "start in" filed
     
    But if you have to setup a bunch of machines anyway, why not add a "start adams here" right-mouseclick context-menue ?
    It's a simple registry tweak on the directory environment-variables and can bei found in SimCompanion or on the old forums.
     
    What I did was to let it point to an own "start_ACar.bat" where I could change the path to the mdi.bat on my own without having admin privileges.
