I was not referring to the 3rd example at all. You might want to read carefully what I actually wrote.

This has nothing got to do with the root directory.

And you unfortunately "forgot" to mention the main point, that is the wrong result which the WinAPI function returns in my first example.

I'd expect you to mention some facts, rather than expressing your personal belief.

In 1st example result is NOT wrong - your understanding of it IS wrong, i read every post 5 or 6 times before replying, i see now that you have set attribute as file in last parameter so sorry about that (i didn't tested the code because you already posted debug output and it was hard to see all parameters in browser with wrapped lines).
Conclusion of this discussion: both functions are valuable and both functions are consistent in their own ways (yours and MSDN one).
I don't want to offend you, i just want to be helpful so other users who read this thread don't get your facts for granted and think PathRelativePathTo_() is returning wrong results. PathRelativePathTo_() is simply intended for different kind of use.

So then you can finally tell me, what exactly is wrong with my understandig, no?

This statement doesn't become true just by repeating it. Also, up to now there is no conclusion of this "discussion" at all.

If you don't want to offend me, then at least you should read my posts carefully, before "replying" to them. Also please write concrete justified statements, rather then just some commonplaces and personal belief.

thanks Little John this looks really useful
