CFileDialogs and changing directories

[grindstonegirl]

Hi
I have written a program and then built a gui on top of it. everything works fine except the intial program creates some files in the current directory you are working in. However, with the gui the directory's get changed with the cfiledialog. Is there anyway to keep track of what the directory defaults to when the program opens up? I dont' want to change where it's set, because it should be wherever the user puts the .exe, but i just want to find out where it starts. thanks

I am not sure, but as far as I know when the program starts first parameter in parameterlist of the main procedure

void main(int paramcount, char *param[])

is the whole string to the exe like
"c:\program\thisexe.exe"
this string you could seperate into path, name and typ

I really hope that helps..
