IShellLinkW::SetWorkingDirectory method (shobjidl_core.h)
Sets the name of the working directory for a Shell link object.
Syntax
HRESULT SetWorkingDirectory(
LPCWSTR pszDir
);
Parameters
pszDir
Type: LPCTSTR
The address of a buffer that contains the name of the new working directory.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

The working directory is optional unless the target requires a working directory. For example, if an application creates a Shell link to a Microsoft Word document that uses a template residing in a different directory, the application would use this method to set the working directory.
