CreateShortcut with startup path

Hello,

I am a newbie in NSIS.
Would you pelase to teach me how I can create a short cut with a startup path for it?

For example,

I am going to create a shortcut test.lnk in $DESKTOP which link to "c:\test\test.bat".
How can I define the 'startup path of the test.lnk to "c:\test" ????

Best regards,
Eric

This is explained in the manual: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.9.3.4 (The term you're looking for is 'working directory'.)
