I am new to Visual Studio Code. I am using Windows.

When I hit the "Run Code" button at the top right, I want my .py file to run from the current directory.

When I hit Run right now, I get the Terminal window > Windows Powershell, which prints:

PS C:\Users\zack> python -u "c:\Users\zack\Desktop\test.py"

In other words, I want the .py file to run as if I did "cmd" then "cd directory".

I saw this question but I don't know where to type this.

I also saw this question and enabled Execute in File Dir. Didn't change anything.

@rioV8 thank you for the response. Where is the launch.json file located? – carmine_blind Jan 29 '22 at 22:32
if you use a program do you read the docs, or do a search with your favorite search engine – rioV8 Jan 30 '22 at 00:03
