title: Using drag and drop from another directory onto a batch file does not work
body: <p>I have a folder structure that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>project
      bin
          my_program.exe
          misc_stuff.exe
      DROP_OVER_ME.bat
      input_file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to be able to drag and drop the input file on top of the <code>DROP_OVER_ME.bat</code> batch file and have it pass on the path of the input file to the exe.</p>
  
  <p>This is what my batch file looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  start bin/my_program.exe %1
  exit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I drag and drop <code>input_file.txt</code> over the batch file, everything works fine -- <code>my_program.exe</code> successfully receives the path of the input file and runs.</p>
  
  <p>However, when <code>input_file.txt</code> is located outside the project folder, dragging and dropping it makes the batch file throw up a popup message saying</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Windows cannot find 'bin/my_program.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I fix my batch file so I can drag and drop files from any arbitrary location inside my filesystem?</p>
