VERY SIMPLE question about reading .txt files in Visual C++

[kdawghomie]

I have just switched over to Visual C++ after using emacs (I copy/pasted working code on emacs into Visual Studio), and I was wondering how I can get my program to recognize .txt files now that I am using Windows. I am using a simple fin.open function where the user inputs a filename, but where do I save the .txt file so that my program will be able to find and open it? Thanks for the help, any quick reply would be fantastic.

It will generally look in the same directory as the executable (with VC++ 2008 I think it is something like My Docs/VC2008/Projects/ProjectName).
