The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software version 1.0

Applications that require a working directory entry may not run correctly when using the Task Manager.

Task Manager does not include an option to provide a working directory for any application assigned in the Program and File Launcher. Applications requiring a working directory in order to run should not be placed in the Launcher.

RESOLUTION

Create a PIF file. A PIF file does allow you to specify a Start-up Directory or "working directory." After the PIF file has been created, assign a button to the PIF file.
