title: Why can't I start programs in the command line without /d? (Windows 7x64)
body: <p>I am trying to create a batch script that opens a program. I am doing some testing and I can't figure this out:</p>
  
  <p>If I run CMD.exe and input <code>start /d "C:\wamp" wampmanager.exe</code> the program opens</p>
  
  <p>but</p>
  
  <p>If I run CMD.exe and input <code>start "C:\wamp\wampmanager.exe"</code> I get "the current directory is invalid"</p>
  
  <p>Now when I try to do <code>start runas /profile /user:Administrator "C:\wamp\wampmanager.exe"</code> I get prompted for Administrator's password, but nothing happens when I enter it.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please tell me how I can run the above command?</p>
