XYplorer seems to set an incorrect working directory when launching context menu shorcuts. Easy to reproduce -
1. in regedit create a new key under HKCR\*\Shell called "test"
2. create another key under that called "command"
3. set the default value of the "command" key to simply "cmd"
Right-click any file in Windows Explorer and choose "test". It should open a command window with the current directory set to the location of your file (type "cd" to verify).
Now try it in XYplorer and the directory that opens is "C:\Program Files\XYplorer". Obviously this is not good for programs that expect a specific working directory when launched via context menu.

READ THIS AND DO IT!!!
Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.
