DOS Batch runs in wrong dir

I have a batch program that I run to rename all files
within a directory (timestamps my picture files by pre-
pending creation date).

When I attempted to run the batch for the first time
since installing Anti-Spyware (MSAS), MSAS asked if it
was OK to run. I said yes.

Upon saying yes, the batch DID execute, but because the
context of the active directory had changed, the batch
executed in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and renamed all the files
that it wasn't denied access too.

VERY disappointing. I spent 40 minutes cleaning up that
mess.
 
Thanks for the report Michael, and apologies for the problem.

This has been reported by others and is definitely on the fix list.

It is clearly a bad bug, and they are aware of it and working on it.
