You can use SHGetFolderPath(CSIDL_WINDOWS) function to get the Windows path and then use normal file operations to complete the tasks. You can see some example at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181(VS.85).aspx[^]

Which implies: d:\windows\test If you have d:\test instead, the test folder resides off the root of the Windows volume.
