changing working dir question 1

[scienzia]

My program creates files, and everythig is ok when I launch the program normally. The problem is that if I use a link to launch it the files created are in the directory of the link...

How do I change the working directory to the one of the exe file???????

_getcwd
_chdir

these functions found in <direct.h> could help you...

hope this help

try this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <direct.h>
....
......
char Buffer[_MAX_PATH];// you can choose any other size that feet
HINSTANCE hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
GetModuleFileName( hInstance, Buffer, MAX_PATH );
_chdir( Buffer );
