<div>Hi Jeffrey</div>

<div>Windows CE doesn't have the concept of a 'current directory' (so a starting directory makes no sense either) but python for windows ce emulates it internally, so there's no direct way of doing this. iirc, python defaults to a) the directory where the script you start resides (if you start \my documents\myprog\myprog.py, it'll start in \my documents\myprog) or b) the default path of the interpreter when started without any options in \tmp (or something similar). You could create a small dummy script in that path that just contains 'pass' and starting that using the python interpreter with the -i option (make a shortcut 'python -i "\My Documents\myprog\dummy.py"').
</div>

<div>Hope this helps (and works! haven't actually tried it myself).</div>
