SUMMARY
The default directory for a shared application run under Systems
Management Server cannot be set through the Administrator Tool for the
application. It is, however, possible to set a specific DOS environment
variable which can be used to point the application to a working
directory.
To do this, set the SMS_WORKING_DIR to a specific path for the
application. For example, add the following to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
restart the computer:
set SMS_WORKING_DIR=c:\word\docs
Program Group Control (PGC) makes this path the current working directory
when PGC launches the shared application. When the user selects Open from
the application's File menu, the files in the c:\word\docs directory
appears by default.
