Having problems with the execute path

[Peach]

Hello out there.

I'm having a problem with loading a language-setting file (well, actually it's a txt file where the words are being splitted).

At the moment, I get the Path, where the application will be start trough the winAPI command 'GetCurrentDirectory'.

So if my application lies at C:\Program Files\App\App.exe and I start it manually in this folder, the return path of 'GetCurrentDirectory'.

But if I start the application over a shortcut which is at the desktop, 'GetCurrentDirectory' returns me: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop.

Is there another, better, command to get the real directory?

Best regards,
Peach

Umm... ok I've got it. :-)

I'm just gettings the .exe path over argv[0].
Then I search for the last "\\" and get the index.

Finally I just can copy out there a substring of 0 to the final index. :)
