Opening the current working directory - Forums

Home » Forums » MAIN » Opening the current working directory

Hi, im sorta new to assembly programing... Currently i am using MASM.
I've been trying to make a program open the current working directory so that if I put the program on a disk it would diskplay the contents of the drive that the cd was in.

so far:



    	 invoke GetCurrentDirectory,500,addr cddrive

		invoke ShellExecute,hWin,addr open,addr cddrive,NULL,NULL,NULL

doesn't do anything :-D
any advice would be appreciated.
:oops:

Opening the current working directory

To open a folder, use either of the following calls: 



ShellExecute(handle, NULL, <fully_qualified_path_to_folder>, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);



or 



ShellExecute(handle, "open", <fully_qualified_path_to_folder>, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);



To explore a folder, use: 



ShellExecute(handle, "explore", <fully_qualified_path_to_folder>, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);



To launch the Shell's Find utility for a directory, use: 



ShellExecute(handle, "find", <fully_qualified_path_to_folder>, NULL, NULL, 0);



If lpOperation is NULL, the function opens the file specified by lpFile. If lpOperation is "open" or "explore", the function attempts to open or explore the folder.
