There must be a setting because i downloaded a vs c++ project which saves the files created with fopen in the app's directory and not on desktop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's nothing to do with Visual Studio, it depends on the environment of the executable program (which does not necessarily run inside Visual Studio). And a single exclamation mark is enough to make your point!

and how can I tell windows where to store my c++ created files??

Do as I suggested and use one of the options I already told you about, and provided links to.

This question is non-sensical. Why would Windows care where they are stored?

"The desktop is just a folder like everywhere else."
Would it be more correct if we say that the "desktop" is the parent / main (Windows) application and that is why the file goes there if no path is specified?
Just curious.
Also it seems "illogical" / awkward to open a file ( on desktop ) and than save it elsewhere.
But - whatever floats your boat.

I was trying not to complicate things, saying "it's just a folder" was the simplest explanation I could come up with.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here.

You can always get the path from where the exe is running using GetModuleFileName and extract the required path and append it in the wfopen function for the file name .Then your file should be created in the app directory itself.
Though this is a strange behaviour that you are getting, this is just another way for achieving what you want.

Thank you for your answer.
This is indeed a strange behaviour.
I will use GetModuleFileName.
It seems that I have no other option.

No, this is quite normal.

You have quite a few options, two more of which I suggested above.

There is a 'working directory' setting which I believe is on the debug menu, or some such. It is where you can specify the exe to be debuged and any arguments too.
This might change the behaviour, but I am guessing at some point you will want the app to run outside the debugger, so you are going to have to write code to set the path where the file is saved.
==============================
Nothing to say.

I know about the working directory option.
I've set it but to no avail.
I'm gonna use GetModuleFileName.
Thanks!

It's the difference between a relative path vs. an absolute path.

Hello Friends
Critical Situation:
Two application are in MFC.Using Document View Architecture.
First Application saving a file using Serialize.[no idea about File Format].We dont have this application code.
Second Application is also saving a file using Serailize of same extension tht we created in first application.[ knows the format ].
Now,when i am trying to Load old Files into new Application,it crashes,As I am assuming File format is Different.Is there any way If I can Get Format of Old Files so that when i load up in new application,it doesnt crash?
Any Ideas?
Regards
Yogesh

You can use a HEX editor to read the file and try to figure it out, or try and find the format description by getting the source code of the application, or talking to the people who do have the source code. Either way there is no tool that I know of that can tell you the format.

Why not use a different extension for your new files?

But ,I have to load up old Files too even,thts y I want to read what wrong with new format.

Well I guess you made a mistake in using the same file extension for your files as one that was already in use. I think some other posters have suggested methods you can use to try and distinguish between the two.

File extension does NOT determine file format, of course.
If, and only if, you know that 'old' and 'new' files are indeed pretty similar then you may try to use the debugger with the new application while trying to load the old file in order to guess what is going wrong.
Veni, vidi, vici.

I tried to load old Files in new appliction but while debugging it is showing all values that i am getting in new application is totally junk values and at one step it crashed.

Suggestion. Modify your second application so that it writes out some recognizable tag. Also have it check for that tag first, before it attempts to read the entire file. If the tag is present, then proceed to read the rest of the file. If the tag is not present, or an exception is thrown which you catch, then do not read the rest of the file.

GetObjectSchema(), perhaps?

 That looks like a pretty good method call to me.
