GetCurrentDirectory() also works. It'll return the absolute path to your exe.

not if your current working path changes subsequent to Win32 API usage
such as common file open/save dialogs.

Or if you have a shortcut to the exe file that has the "start in" entry set to another directory than the exe is in.
