First, look at your keyboard. Learn to use the keys that have a
little up and/or down arrows on it. They might also be labeled
"shift".
>SHELL PROGRAM
ANSI:
argv[0] stores the program name & path I think.
VC++
Look up the _pgmprt variable in the MSDN.

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
I think the webmaster should add a quick snip of code to the board that checks for all CAPS, and if so, puts up Sunlight's best quote:
"I'm sorry, but this board is case-sensitve. Please re-post in the proper fashion." or something along those lines...
I know that you can't write all caps, but, why is that?

It's a very simple form of Netiquette that might even be
in the faq. Boards and chats are text-only. So spelling
a word in all caps is meant to stress this word. Spelling
a whole sentence in caps is comparable to yelling in
real life. Capitalizing a whole paragraph... well...
I wouldn't talk to someone like that in real life.

You can use the GetModuleFileName() API function to get the path of your executable. Simply specify NULL for the first parameter and it will return the executables path.
