      hi "HOW" well to me path is whole location of a file eg. z:\windows\explorer.exe Directory is a folder and we store files in folder. eg. windows is a folder filename is the name of a file. eg. explorer.exe is a binary file To access a file we must have complete file path good luck!


      ۞It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.

          Let me break every thing to simplify every thing for you z: = PATH and Drive Name Z:\Windows :- Path and Directory Z:\Windows\explorer.exe :- path and Filename Path can be any thing.. but it depends on what you are calling
