How to set application folder in .bat?

Question

Windows

There is a line in start.bat:
start C:\path\to\file.exe
The problem is that the application "takes" the current folder. And with such a call, the current folder is different (not the application root).
What command is needed instead of "start"?

Answer 1

cd C:\path\to\
start C:\path\to\file.exe
