There are two problems, and they come up repeatedly on this and other lists: (1) the 'default' folder for a Windows app changes depending on whether it’s your own code or a DLL opening a file for you. So if you start using a precompiled DLL suddenly your app starts behaving differently for no apparent reason. (2) Windows doing the UAC thing you explained so well in your previous post. > It can't "Look" at something non-existing, there is no magic in the system, > it must abide by the security rules (and benefit from it). > > SO, did you make the service or did someone else? > > If you made it, the fix is easy.

The only solution I ever found (for a far earlier version of Windows) was to require a full path to be specified by the user, either asking for it to be typed in, or using the System call which presents the folder GUI and using the path it returns.
