Working on my game, obviously, but I'm not very familiar with the Windows API. Is there a function that is similar to using "App.Path" in VB that I can use for C++?

GetModuleFileName

    TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];         if( !GetModuleFileName( NULL, szPath, MAX_PATH ) )    {        printf("GetModuleFileName failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());         return FALSE;    }
