If you had a directory one level higher than the root ( :laugh: ) and would execute the BAT from there, it wouldn't work. (Your post has nothing to do with the quote, I would say. )

Yes it works.
Use this: cd\xxxx

Notice the \ not a space.

Okay, I didn't place a relative before directory change, but I thought that would be clear since an EXE would work as well when using absolute paths. That was the topic (apart from the GAME ) - the un-usefulness of the command [path]\[executable] regarding relative accesses within the executable.

It's exactly the same. Correct me if I'm wrong, dosraider.
