From: Tom Serface on 2 Jun 2010 12:52 Yes, I've noticed that as well. It opens where it thinks you want to be rather than where you told it to be on subsequent calls. The SetCurrentDirectory() call is an interesting idea and certainly easy enough to try.

In fact, some small code sample would help even more :-) -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email |
