Summary

In the make.py script, most *.bat launchers are set to contain the line cd/D "%WINPYWORKDIR%" or a similar cd/D ... line. This causes an unexpected change in the current working directory when accessing these launchers from the command prompt. Issue #384 details this unexpected behaviour for python.bat, I raise this issue to be applicable for all *.bat launchers.

hum,

I think this problem is solved in coming WinPython-3.5.2.3, via commit of September 1rst, 2016:
a326579

@stonebig, yes part of the problem was solved in a326579, but only for python.bat, I recommend it to be solved for all .bat launchers. Unless I am mistaken, would it be possible to reopen this issue?

would mean doing separate batches, as "python.bat" vs "winpython.bat"

winidlex.bat = called by the icon, change directory
idlex.bat = called directly, doesn't change directory
