Tip In the Directory Name field, you may enter absolute, relative (to the current working directory), or UNC path names. Below are a few examples assuming your current working directory is set to C:\wd

Example 1
Entering sampleDir would set the working directory to C:\wd\sampleDir . The directory sampleDir must exist in order for this to work.

Example 2
Entering subdir\sampleDir would change the working directory to C:\wd\subDir\sampleDir .

Example 3
Entering C:\temp\sampleDir would change the working directory to C:\temp\sampleDir .

Example 4
To set the working directory to a directory in another system on your network, enter \\hostname\sharename\sampleDir , where, hostname is the name of the computer in your network, shareName is the shared directory on the target system and sampleDir is the directory that you would like to set as the new working directory.
