Hello,

You can invoke SAS with the option -sasinitialfolder.

Eg:

"C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8\sas.Exe" -sasinitialfolder
"C:\temp"

Other way of doing it is by setting it in the SAS config file.

Note : If SAS does not find this option, it sets the SASUSER folder
as the default.

Cheers
Ravi
