This is a VB6 question as opposed to VBA so I hope no one minds.
I'm writing an application that will launch AutoCAD 2005 and I need to
be able to change the "start in" folder before launching. The folder
will be different every time. Can I change this in the registry, if so, what is
the key that I am looking for?

Also, is there a comprehensive list of AutoCAD2005 registry keys out there?

Using Win2K

Thanks!

What are you trying to do? Because, if REMEMBERFOLDERS is set to 1, then the starting dir is ignored.

I'm writing a VB6 App that lauches AutoCAD and I would like to set the start in folder on launch. This saves me from some path retrieval and manipulation in the program.
