I've put it on our list and we'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-set-startup-folder-for-df-taskbar-shortcuts/?ID=48a19965-e360-4c15-98d5-690babbc8110 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 00:39:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-set-startup-folder-for-df-taskbar-shortcuts/?ID=48a19965-e360-4c15-98d5-690babbc8110 DisplayFusion With the windows taskbar, which simply uses standard *.lnk shortcuts under the hood, you can of course say what folder an app on the taskbar starts in, independent of the path to the executable. This is handy for apps like the command prompt or windows explorer, where you might want to set them to start always in a handy location (e.g. "C:\" or "%USERPROFILE%"). Also, there are apps where the binary is in a 'bin' subfolder of the app's install root but should be run from the root, not the 'bin' folder.

Would it be hard to add a field to the shortcut edit box that lets us set the starting folder? It could be optional. If the setting isn't present (as with existing shortcuts) you'd just use whatever magic you currrently use to select a starting folder. ]]>
