I am trying to start a program I made in this directory:

C:\example\example.exe -someargument

when the computer starts up. I am attempting to use this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run

with the key being:

Name: example
Type: REG_SZ
Data: "C:\example\example.exe -someargument"

But my program also needs files from the directory C:\example but can't find them since the current working directory is different. Is is possible to do something like this in the registry key value

"cd C:\example\; example.exe -someargument"

so that it will change the directory? Or is there a better solution?

Thanks!
