what I do to specify a file within the same folder in wich my *.exe

"relative paths", because there is no drive name like "c:\\" in ppcs

You'll need to use something like GetModuleFileName to get the name and
path of your executable, then trim it down to just the path. Pass in
NULL for the module handle.
