Relative path for the Browser StartupDirectory

Could it be possible, that Xnview handle relative paths at start up?
I would like to put Xnview on a CD with some picture folders. Xnview should start the browser with a specified folder on that CD, independently from the drive letter.
many thanks,
Thomas!

Do you have tried xnview \folder\...\ ??

I've tried:
\folder\...\
or
.\folder\
or
\folder\
but Xnview always starts with an empty browser.

If you try to use in the autorun.inf XnView\XnView.exe folder ?

Excuse me please for my late reply, but my internet connection was disabled.
With the autorun.inf and the start.bat it works fine.
autorun.inf:
[autorun]
open=start.bat
start.bat:
cd /Xnview/
start xnview.exe \folder
exit
I always thought that I have to edit the StartupDirectory= in the xnview.ini. or have to put the relative path in the GUI at options/general/operations/startup directory. Perhaps this is possible in one of the next releases?
Many thanks you for your help and your great software!
