__argv[0] has the entire path to your application binary.

For example: "C:\Programs\MyProg.exe"

All you need to do, is to strip off "MyProg.exe" (your app name).
I suspect you wish to save config files, eh? :)
(Well, at least that was why I needed to search for a solution a few=20
years ago, and that's what I found).

One last note: I used __argv because if you have a WinMain in you=20
program, then you don't have argv simply. But __argv is always present=20
(as well as __argc), it is global, and has the same contents as argv and=20
argc would (at least in MinGW).
