C# Process.Start is messing with URI's inside a batch file - c#-4.0

Question

This is just a quick question that I am sure someone will be able to answer quickly as I am most likely just missing something.
Lets say I have the following directory layout
Folder1
-> CurrentlyRunning.EXE
-> Folder2
ProcessToStart.Bat
ApplicationToStartFromBat.exe
This is the code inside the applications.
CurrentlyRunning.EXE:
var proc = new Process
{
StartInfo =
{
FileName = "Folder2/ProcessToStart.Bat",
WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden,
CreateNoWindow = true,
UseShellExecute = false
}
};
proc.Start();
ProcessToStart.Bat:
START ApplicationToStartFromBat.exe
Now, if I run ProcessToStart.Bat by double clicking on it, it will open ApplicationToStartFromBat.exe with no problems (which is good). If I run CurrentlyRunning.EXE (which will execute the code I posted above) the BAT file fails saying it can't find my EXE (which is really weird).
If I change the BAT file to:
START Folder2/ApplicationToStartFromBat.exe
and then run CurrentlyRunning.EXE, the bat will then properly open ApplicationToStartFromBat.exe. My problem is I can not change the code inside the bat for one reason or another.
Why is proc.Start() causing the bat file search root directory to change, and how do I stop this from happening?
Thanks

I think it is to do with where the working directory is for your exe file.
Try using ProcessStartInfo.WorkingDirectory to set the correct directory for your batch file.
var proc = new Process
{
StartInfo =
{
FileName = "Folder2/ProcessToStart.Bat",
WorkingDirectory = "DirectoryPath";
WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden,
CreateNoWindow = true,
UseShellExecute = false
}
};
proc.Start();
