This method sets the working directory for the task.
A null-terminated string that contains a directory path to the working directory for the task.
The application starts with this directory as the current working directory. To clear the directory, set pwszWorkingDirectory to L"". If the working directory is set to L"", when the application is run, the current directory will be the directory in which the task scheduler service executable, Mstask.exe, resides.
The SetWorkingDirectory method returns one of the following values.
