If I run a DOS program or a DOS command from Total Commander's command line, I always land in c:\ (or another fixed directory) instead of the current directory!

A: There is a directory saved in the PIF file associated with the program. If you use Windows 3.1 or Windows NT 3.51, you can use the PIF Editor to change the files _default.pif and dosprmpt.pif (or 4dos.pif) in your Windows directory. The line 'Working directory' must be empty! In Windows 95 or later, you can press ALT+ENTER on the PIF file to change it directly.
