A file or a folder?

[Harry Potter]

Say I am given a path for one of my programs. It could be a file or a folder. It could also be a partial path. How do I determine whether it is a file or a folder? Also, how do I convert it to a full path?

Have you already googled for that ? What did you use for the search terms
?

Functions for the first question can be found in shlwapi, the latter in
kernel32. No, I'm not giving you the answer on a silver platter. You
still have to do some of the work yourself.

And by the way: The above is true for my own version of the OS. And as you
didn't specify which version you are using ...

From only a file path? You can't. Unless it points to the root or current
directory.

Combine it with the current directory path.
