You either want the system drive or the system path!!!

Use GetWindowsDirectory or GetSystemDirectory and parse the returned string according to your requirement.

if you mean that you want an executable to determine what directory it is working under at run time you can search the c++ help utility for the
function that gets the working directory - the name escapes me right now

Before searching in the help system just note that system directory (asked by OP) is not the same as the application working directory which you are suggesting to find.

And here is an example

Code:

---

CString CFoo::GetSystemDrive()
{
  CString strSystemDrive;
  ::GetSystemDirectory(strSystemDrive.GetBufferSetLength(_MAX_PATH), _MAX_PATH);
  strSystemDrive.ReleaseBuffer();
  return strSystemDrive.Left(2);
}

Thanks
