Moderators Melba23 Posted July 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2013 maalzein,@WorkingDir is the folder where AutoIt - or the app it starts uning Run - expects to find files that do not have a full path. Take a look here for more information. Think of it as the "Start in parameter of a shortcut. And beware, some AutoIt functions change this value on successful completion - look at FileOpenDialog for an example. Use FileChangeDir if you need to do it yourself.
