Different current folder for DoubleClick and DragAndDrop

#1 Post by budhax » 31 Oct 2006 05:04

Hello,
here is my script dir.bat :

Code: Select all

dir
pause
:: and other command lines


If you double click this file (dir.bat) you get the file listing of the current folder (the folder where dir.bat is located).
Fine. :)

But, if you drag and drop a file on dir.bat, you get allays the file listing of the %USERPROFILE% folder :(

How to get (how to go to) the current folder if you drag and drop a file on dir.bat ?

Thanks in advance.

budax,

You can change the current path to the directory of the batch file like this:

cd /d "%~dp0"
dir
pause


%~dp0 - resolves to the drive and path of the batch file itself.

DOS IT HELP? :wink:
