current directory in Win-XP



Hi,
  Is there a simple way in Win-XP to go into a directory, load xmaxima,
  and be able to load files in the new directory?

Of course, if I know the directory in advance, I can simply add its
full path to the file_search_maxima list.  I am looking for a
transparent way as in Linux:
   one needs only put

  file_search_maxima: append(file_search_maxima,["./###.{lisp,mac}"]);

into the maxima-init.mac file.

If I simply load xmaxima from the desktop, it doesn't know what the
current directory is.  Also, if I use a command window, I can't load
xmaxima.

TIA,
  -sen
