Many windows functions look for the file name in the order of current directory then traverse the path. But if you need to get the entire file name that will have to be passed in. If the file is in the current directory you can use findfirstfile findnextfile functions.

_fullpathfunction as mentioned by W. Kleinschmit. If you want to search for the file and then get the full path of that file you can usePathFindOnPathAPI.«_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.
