char path_name[1000];GetModuleFileName(GetModuleHandle(NULL),path_name,1000);

Now "path_name" contains the path of the program that ran it.

I often use "_getcwd" (standard C) and it seems to work. By the way, isn't this information already in argv[0]? - I'll have to check about this last one.

EDIT: of curse, you have to call it *before* changing direcories since _getcwd returns the current one... Which should be app directory if you don't mess up before calling.
