Sets the name of the working directory for a shell link object.

HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE SetWorkingDirectory(

ISHELLLINK FAR *pShlLnk,
LPCSTR pszDir
);

Parameters
pShlLnk
Pointer to the IShellLink interface. In C++, this parameter is implicit.

pszDir
Pointer to a buffer that contains the name of the new working directory.

Return Values
Returns NOERROR if successful or an OLE-defined error value otherwise.

The working directory must be set only if the object requires it to be set. For example, if an application creates a shell link to a Microsoft Word document that uses a template that resides in a different directory, the application would use this method to set the working directory.
