chdir is the function you should use. as for what you tried it works in the sense that cmd.exe which is started as a child process whenever you call system() changes its working directory.
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition. Blaise Pascal

[My articles]Actually, I am using GNU c compiler for UNIX, it seems chdir and SetCurrentDirectory for windows only, is there any other way for UNIX?
