This spawns a process that will work in the given directory, this does not change the directory in which SQL*Plus is working.

-I told you it's a Silly Question-
The solution is to create a shortcut for sql*plus -e.g in desktop (windows)- and at its properties copy the desired directory in 'start in' field.

Thanks
