Process.Start working directory in the same string as filepath

Is there any way to specify working directory as below?

Process.Start("c:\someDir\someExecutable.exe + working directory path");

or how to make windows environment variable path work with : 

Process.Start("c:\someDir\someExecutable.exe");

I know that ProcessStartInfo can be use to specify working directory. I have my own reason to for wanting to put working directory and file path in same parameter of Process.Start().

The documentation for public static Process Start(string fileName) is found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53ezey2s(v=vs.110).aspx

As you can see the description for that parameter is:

The name of a document or application file to run in the process.

The remarks also note:

This overload does not allow command-line arguments for the process. If you need to specify one or more command-line arguments for the process, use the Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo) or Process.Start(String, String) overloads.

So in summary no, you can't do this. Even if your program accepted a working directory as a command line argument this overload will not work.
