try GetProjectDir and MakePathname 🙂

Try this:

#include "shlobj.h"

    char    file[MAX_PATHNAME_LEN];

    SHGetFolderPath (NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, file);

You need to have SDK installed and add ShFolder.lib to your project.

Look into SDK documentation for a reference on the function and see this thread for some additional informations.

Roberto,

the link you specified does not work for me... (probably I have a different page setting than you - Lithium bug?)
