    U mean that the path we receive from window functions is OK

    Yes, because those are not being seen by the compiler. What happens at runtime is completely different.

    My problem is that. I receive the string from the function SystemParametersInfo and I use that string to load by Image.Load. It doesn't work :(

      Then something else is wrong. Does the file actually exist? What does Load() return?

        All my code is here : TCHAR * Temp; Temp = new TCHAR[100]; CString str; SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETDESKWALLPAPER,100,Temp,0); CImage Image; str = Temp; Image.Load(str); Image.ReleaseDC(); Image.Save(_T("D:\\Temp\\Desktop.bmp")); I debuged & I saw clearly the path, of course, it exits When I replace str by another string created manually, it works

            No statement is failing. It just doesn't do anything. Actually, when I replace "\" by "/", it works. But I still wonder :sigh:

              Because D:est.bmp (or maybe D:<tab>est.bmp) is what actually gets sent as the argument to Load().

                How are you verifying this?

                Single slashes (like those used on Unix machines) can be used in place of double backslashes.

                  You realize, of course, that the path can be up to 260 characters long?
