file association gone bad

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to assign a "running directory" for
an file association?

What I mean is that I have a program,,, and when that program is run
directly from its folder, or via a shortcut, it runs perfectly (as
expected).

However it allows me to save files. These files by defualt were not
associated with the application.

So I took it upon myself to associate the files using the "open with"
feature. Unfortunately this does not work. I found out that the
application is using the "associated file"'s directory as the working
directory, while using the shortcut uses the normal application
directory as the working directory....

is there any way to fix this problem? Can I assign a working directory
to a file type? Dam this is frustrating...
 
What application? Try checking the developers web site. Working directory
and file type associations have nothing to do with each other.
