--- quote --- Would cd'ing to the directory do anything differently to what I did above? I fail to see how it would. ANyway. --- quote ---
You shouldn't question people's advice if you don't know how Windows works under the hood. And yes, the working directory makes a _big_ difference for many apps/games. Most apps refuse to start or misbehave if the working directory is wrong.
So do as advised above.

I was asking for more explination of why that works (and clarification on what was being said) so I could build my knowledge. Sorry for making it look like I'm questioning what was being said.
I'll go give it a go.
Anyone able to give me more of an explination of why it works that way or not? Does the programme somehow take part of its requests for files and stuff from the location where the command was run?
